    So I logged into godaddy.

    Set my A record:
    * - > 69.64.38.19

    Logged into apache on my server
    Editted httpd.conf and added
    
<VirtualHost 69.64.38.19:80>
      ServerName rentalpeak.info
      ServerAlias *.rentalpeak.info rentalpeak.info
      DocumentRoot /home/rentalpeak
</VirtualHost>
    Code (markup):
    I am still getting page not found, and ping is dead saying it cannot find host... Is there something I am missing about setting up wildcard subdomains? I am hosting several domains on the server... never done wildcard bgefore though.

    Your vhost section should be:

    ServerAlias should not have double entry.

    For more info read http://ma.tt/2003/10/wildcard-dns-and-sub-domains/

    And do remember to take backup of httpd.conf before making changes and restart apache after changes.

    It also take 12 - 24 hours to update the DNS all over the world so wait for that to
