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`.      Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2026-02-25 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. FunZ (@info-9984) · 2026-02-25 · ♥ 1 Switched my internet and it works now, thank you!
