How can I redirect all subdomain to main domain with dns wildcard?

I want to redirect all subdomains like this:

test.website.com to www.website.com.

I use IIS server with shared IP and PLESK control panel.

When I add a cname dns record like this: *.website.com website.com all subdomain redirected to IP of server and plesk default page is displayed!!

Are there any solution?

    IIS 10 in Windows 2016 supports wildcard host header and you can create wildcard subdomains in Plesk 17.

    Origin answer

    You can set domain as default on IP address: plesk wildcard subdomain

    There is no ability to create wildcard subdomain on IIS: http://kb.parallels.com/en/2239

    If you try to create wildcard binding on IIS website you will get:

    ---------------------------
Add Site Binding
---------------------------
The specified host name is incorrect. The host name must use a valid host name format and cannot contain the following characters: "/\[]:|<>+=;,?*$%#@{}^`. Example: www.contoso.com.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

    So, plesk operates right - you create DNS record *.website.com but there is no virtual host which can serv such requests and they are fallback to default virtual host.
