# Do We Support Wildcard Subdomains?
Yes, Clouduxe supports wildcard DNS for subdomains.
**Wildcard subdomains** allow you to point all existing and non-existing subdomains to a specific folder in your cPanel account. This is useful for:
* Multisite web applications (e.g., WordPress Multisite)
* Speeding up DNS propagation
* Showing the same content across multiple subdomains as the main site.
For example, if your main domain is `testing.com`, enabling a wildcard subdomain means that subdomains like `support.testing.com` (non-existing) or `admin.testing.com` (existing) will both show the same content. The wildcard is represented by an asterisk `*`, such as `*.testing.com`.
### Prerequisites
* Wildcard subdomains are only available for domains where the DNS is hosted with us (i.e., pointed to our NameServers).
### How to Create a Wildcard Subdomain
Follow these steps to create a wildcard subdomain in your Clouduxe cPanel account:
* **Log into your cPanel account**.
* Go to the **Domains** section and click on **Domains**.
Tip: This section lists all your current domains and subdomains.
* Click on **Create a New Domain**.
* In the subdomain box, type an asterisk `*` to signify the wildcard subdomain.
{% hint style="success" %}
**Success:** Other fields will automatically generate the file path for the wildcard subdomain. You can modify the directory by typing a full path in the **Document Root** field if needed.
{% endhint %}
5. Click **Submit**. You will receive a success message once the wildcard subdomain is set up.
### DNS Propagation
The wildcard subdomain record will automatically be added to your domain’s DNS entry. This might take a couple of hours to propagate across the internet.
* If the root domain’s DNS is not managed by cPanel, the wildcard subdomain’s **A record** will need to be manually added to the DNS zone on the server managing the root domain's DNS.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** DNS changes may take time to propagate fully (24–72 hours).
{% endhint %}
#### Example Use Cases for Wildcard Subdomains
* **Multisite Networks**: WordPress multisite installations often use wildcard subdomains to manage multiple sites.
* **Unified Content**: If you want all subdomains to display the same content as your main domain, wildcard subdomains are ideal.
