Adding a partial wild-carded Address Record

DNS Service provided by XS-Host.com currently does not support partial wildcards in Address (A) Records. For instance, consider the following example, where you are using the DNS Service for domainname.com:

If you try to add the following A record -

Hostname: *.something.domainname.com

Destination IP Address: 203.199.114.89

The system will throw an error: Invalid Name *.something for A Records
