Wildcard subdomains are useful when you wish to redirect all visitors to your main website regardless of what subdomain they access your website through.

This is also useful when someone mistypes www for example and writes ww.yourdomain.com.

In other words, with wildcard subdomains it won't matter whether someone accesses your site through ww.yourdomain.com or wwwwww.yourdomain.com.

Here are two ways to enable wildcard subdomains for your website:

1) The easiest way to enable wildcard subdomains is to create a subdomain *.yourdomain.com. CornerNET customers can do this from their cPanel > Subdomains.

You should make sure that the subdomain's Document Root is public_html.

2) Using cPanel, go to Advanced DNS Zone Editor. Select the domain you wish to modify from the list of available websites.

Under Add a record you should fill in the fields so that they look like:


Name: *

TTL: 14400

Type: A

Address: 1.2.3.4

where 1.2.3.4 is the IP of the account

Then select Add Record
