Wildcard subdomains

Hi,

Is there a way to create an A record with wildcard support?

For example I want to do something like: *.apps.domain.com

So that I can create subdomains to `apps` on the fly without modifying the DNS records. AWS Route53 let you create an `*.apps` A record, for example.

Thanks

Sorry, our DNS settings don't support wildcard subdomains at this time. I will pass the request on to our engineers to see if it's something we could introduce in the future. You would be able to create a regular '*' wildcard subdomain if that would help, but we wouldn't support a '*.apps' subdomain.

Any update on this -- 2 years is a long time for a simple feature like this (almost every other provide supports it)

Hi, thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately, we don’t have a wildcard for subdomains. We did pass this to our engineering team but sadly this feature has not been implemented yet. If we do add this, you will be notified through our monthly newsletter.

Any update on this -- it is very surprising that wildcard is still not supported.

Hello, the feature has been implemented already. You can add wild subdomains under Dynadot DNS.

I use Dynadot and porkbun. When I need a wildcard I transfer my name to porkbun. :-) Sorry dyna but it is a huge thing in my referral business to have wildcard subdomains. If you want any free help you can checkout com-fl dot us.

Hi it's been so long, is this feature implemented? It's a simple implementation and everyone already has it, is it at least on your backlog?

It was added last year, thanks. There are a few hoops to jump through, but its better than not having it. At Porkbun its a one-click action, bam! Full in the sub-domain name.
