I was trying to reach dnforum.com by typing http://wwww.dnforum.com, but couldnt get the website. It will be a nice thing to activate the wildcards, or have some sort of 404 Page

thats a good reminder to anyone converting traffic too - wildcard dns and 404 errors redirecting to the main page will maximise traffic from the domains.

what exactly are wildcard DNS servers?
 

Guest
Not wildcard DNS servers, but a wildcard DNS entry.

*.dnforum.com IN A 65.57.224.27

would direct any "hostname" at dnforum.com to the IP address of his server.
