Wildcard subdomain on google app engine, alternatives to godaddy domains


I'm building an app on google app engine and have it set with wildcard subdomain mapping: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/domain.html

Next, my domain name is through godaddy and I have specific CNAMEs created for each subdomain I want, such as www: How to use Google app engine with my own naked domain (not subdomain)?

The problem I'm facing is that I want goDaddy to allow me to have a wildcard CNAME so that I can have any subdomain without having to specifically set the CNAME for it. Such as: ANYTHING.mysite.com

Everything I've researched on the intraweb by the googles has told me I'm out of luck if I wish to do this through godaddy. So what other alternatives do I have? I really like godaddy and all my projects are under one account, so I hate to put this one domain name under some other vendor, but what are my other options?


Solution

  • Your only choice is to move your DNS hosting to a provider that supports wildcard CNAME records.

    A couple of options:

    Once you have the new DNS setup, update your nameservers with GoDaddy.
