Hi everyone,
I couldn't find this anywhere. But my old DNS accepts wildcard entries, like -> *.website.net
Is the '@' sign the same as that, cause I'm couldn't make it out of the description.
Thanks!

Re: DNS entries
We don't have our DNS/webhosting set up to support wildcards, I'm sorry.
Re: DNS entries
That's to bad, but not the end of the world.
I already saw from other posts that you don't support DNS servers that are managed elsewhere.
Is there any chance that wildcards or a custom DNS might be allowed in the future?
Maby the same way Google does it with their custom webmail?
But instead editing DNS entries, just link the subdomain (or full) to a folder.
If those that are unfamiliar with Google's webmail, it works like this (if I remember it correctly):
Google allows you to use their webmail with a custom domain.
It makes you set a 'TXT' entry on your DNS to verify that you are controlling it.
Then it will ask you to set the links to their mailservers and you'll have a Gmail based webmail with your own domain (ea. yourname@yourdomain.net).
Now I can't say I know a lot about DNS server. I just know some basics. But wouldn't that also reduce some of the load on your nameservers? (Dunno how much load they take).
Anyway, I can work my way around it. But it would be awesome to see wildcard or custom DNS support in the future.
Note: I know that NFO know more about this then me, so if I explain unneeded things its so that other people with the same question (and a less technical background) can also understand.

Re: DNS entries
Trying to decouple the DNS management from our webhosting would be a nightmare, honestly, so that's not something that I plan to change. I could potentially look into wildcard support, but we haven't heard much demand for it (this may be the first time I've seen it brought up, actually), so it will have to be near the bottom of the priorities.
Google doesn't require TXT entries for its hosted email that I know of, as customers have not had to change those here in order to use Google-hosted services through domains we otherwise host. But, that would be a good way to verify control of a domain.

Re: DNS entries
It's been a while since I did it (for an other domain), so it might not be accurate.
Anyway, thank you for the response.
