SBA-NYC Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hello, We're trying to update the DNS record for our domain. The instructions say to add a CNAME, and two TXT records. One of the TXT records is denied, and that's because it requires a wildcard in the host (@); which our hosting provider (Dreamhost) can't accept. Is there a workaround to this? Currently we have the denied TXT record added, but the host is left blank, since '@' can't be accepted. Thank you Link to comment
dc396 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 "@" is not a wildcard, it means "this domain" (sometimes referred to as the root of your domain). That is, if your domain name is "example.com", the "@" symbol is translated into "example.com" by the domain name server. "*" (asterisk) is the wildcard symbol in the domain name system.
