Wildcard DNS Entry + Wildcard Server Alias (Such as for WordPress MultiSite) Print

WordPress support documents state that you are required to add a wildcard entry for Apache in the httpd.conf as well as in your DNS zone to use WordPress MultiSite on subdomains. On a cPanel server this process is extremely simple as you can accomplish this in only a few simple steps.

1. 1. Log into your cPanel account.
   2. Click on "Subdomains" under the "Domains" group.
   3. Enter a single "*" into the subdomain line and choose which domain you wish to add the wildcard to in the drop-down box. (Demonstration Image)
   4. Enter the directory where WordPress Multisite is installed into "Document Root". 
   5. Click "Create"
