Wild Card:
- While you cannot use a wildcard in a Dynamic DNS record, you can direct a wildcard to your naked domain or a particular subdomain with a CNAME record.
- Create a Dynamic DNS record for your naked domain using @ (@.example.com) or for the subdomain you want your wildcard redirected to.
- Create a CNAME record redirecting * (the wildcard) to your naked domain or subdomain. See Resource records for help with creating a CNAME record.
