Do we Support Wildcard Subdomains

Yes, Verpex Hosting supports wildcard DNS for subdomains.

WildCard subdomains (same as WildCard DNS) allow you to point all the existing and non-existing subdomains to a specific file folder in your cPanel account. Wildcard subdomain is useful for multisite web applications (WordPress multisite), speed up propagation and if you want your subdomains to show the same content as your main website.

If a wildcard subdomain is enabled on your account support.testing.com(non-existing), or admin.testing.com(existing) will show the same content. A WildCard subdomain is specified by using an "" as part of a domain name, for example, If your main domain is testing.com, then the wildcard subdomain will be .testing.com. It is available only for domains whose DNS is hosted with us (pointed to our NameServers).
