I’m trying to move the NS of an existing domain to desec. I’ve got a question regarding subdomains and wildcard domains. Normally I would add a separate record for each subdomain (e.g. A or CNAME). Do I also need to add a record for a catch-all which would automatically send any not existing subdomain to e.g. www (like notexisting.example.com -> www.example.com).
Related to that is the setup of e.g. example.com. Does that automatically create the www.example.com subdomain?
(I’m using the DOT notation because as a new user, I’m not allowed to post more than 2 links.)
We do not automatically create wildcard records, so if you don’t create www or a wildcard record, there will be no DNS information available for the www subdomain.
You can easily create a wildcard record by setting * as the subdomain.
