NOTE: the newly created sub-domain should be available online within 5-10 minutes. However, it may take up to 30-40 minutes for the newly created record to fully propagate world-wide.

You can also create a wildcard sub-domain. Wildcard sub-domains allow you to point all the sub-domains (existing and non-existing ones) to a specific folder in your account.

It means that if you enter any sub-domain in your browser (for example, test.domain.com – not existing, or blog.domain.com – existing), it will show the same content that you uploaded to the folder for the wildcard subdomain.

That’s it!
