Wildcard subdomain not resolving with DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN on Vercel

[info-9984 (FunZ)]

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble getting wildcard subdomains to work on my Vercel project and would appreciate some help.

Setup

• Domain: funzedupay.com (registered on GoDaddy)
• Nameservers: Switched from GoDaddy to Vercel (ns1.vercel-dns.com, ns2.vercel-dns.com) ~16+ hours ago
• Project: Next.js multi-tenant app on Vercel
• Status: All domains (funzedupay.com, www.funzedupay.com, staging.funzedupay.com) are working fine

The Problem

Visiting any wildcard subdomain like random.funzedupay.com returns the following error in the browser on both desktop and mobile:

Error: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

What I’ve Done

1. Added *.funzedupay.com to my Vercel project under Settings → Domains — it shows Valid Configuration with a checkmark.
2. Switched nameservers on GoDaddy to ns1.vercel-dns.com and ns2.vercel-dns.com — fully propagated and showing correctly on dnschecker.org.
3. Added a * CNAME record in Vercel DNS pointing to bdc83671176003f4.vercel-dns-016.com..
4. Checked dnschecker.org for random.funzedupay.com CNAME — it resolves correctly to bdc83671176003f4.vercel-dns-016.com globally.
5. Flushed DNS cache on Windows (ipconfig /flushdns) and cleared Chrome DNS cache.
6. Tested on mobile data — same issue.

Questions

1. Should the wildcard * record in Vercel DNS be a CNAME or an A record?
2. If CNAME, what should the value be — cname.vercel-dns.com or something else?
3. Is there anything else needed to make wildcard subdomains work when using Vercel nameservers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

PS: random.funzedupay.com should resolve to the same website as funzedupay.com.

Hi @info-9984, welcome to the Vercel Community!

I visited random.funzedupay.com and it redirected me to this URL with 307, is this what you intend to do?

As per your questions, as long as you are using the values stated in the Vercel project’s Domains settings everything should work as expected.

What region are you using? I’m in NL, Europe and it worked fine for me.

Switched my internet and it works now, thank you!
