Enable Wildcard DNS in DirectAdmin

I just enabled Wildcard DNS in DirectAdmin. It is much easier than I thought. To enable it, you must be in Admin level.

Here is how to enable:

Amend to domain's http config:

Go to Extra Features > Custom HTTPD Configurations

Click the domain that you wish to enable.

Enter ServerAlias *.|DOMAIN| in Httpd.conf Customization for domain.com

Click Save


---

Adding to DNS:

Admin Tools > DNS Administration > Choose domain

Add A record:

Enter *

Enter the IP of domain

Add CName:

Enter *.domain.com

Enter the domain followed by dot

You may need to restart Apache and wait for DNS propagated which may take up to 24-48 hours (usually, it should not take long).
