So I've just started putting some of my domains up for sale on the Marketplace. On the listing there's a message saying "If this domain is not currently in use, you can use a wildcard DNS entry to CNAME the domain to park.digitalpoint.com. Doing this will bring any visitor trying to access your domain to this sale page (more opportunities for potential buyers if they are checking out domains they might be interested in)." Wondering if someone could help me out with how to do this. The domains are hosted with Name Cheap or GoDaddy (if that helps at all). Thanks!
A wildcard DNS entry is basically as astrix s symbol (*). To put in symbol words a CNAME record is like like aliasing (not exactly aliasing its like aliasing). So when u visit your domain.com instead of going to your server it will go the park.digitalpoint.com and load the contents from there. so if you have a record like. NAME TYPE VALUE foo.example.com CNAME bar.example.com then the visitors will be loaded contents from bar.example.com So for your purpose what you have to do is. Go to your domain register, find the option to edit DNS record and add the (*) to the field marked NAME and park.digitalpoint.com to the field marked VALUE. Hope this helps, incase you still have doubts just let me know.
