google apps wildcard subdomains at godaddy

[Roberto Saccon]

google apps lets me define wildcard subdomains

e.g.: http://*.mydomain.com

but when saving the wildcard entry, a message from Google shows up that I also need do adjust at godaddy the CNAME '*' to ghs.google.com

So I try to do that at the godaddy DNS panel, but here is the end of the game, godaddy says that a wildcard CNAME is not allowed.

So how have others solved this ? Switched to another DNS provider ? Which one ? Or did I just so something wrong ?

i have no experience with godaddy dns panel, but i use mydomain.com
and cloudflare.com, and wildcard is supported.

Yep, GoDaddy does not support this. 

There are a couple of other options mentioned in this Stack Overflow question:

Hi,

If you map abcd.xyz.com to ghs.google.com, automatically,
*.abcd.xyz.com will be served by ghs.google.com

I think all you need to do is map "@" to ghs.google.com (which by
default is mapped to "www").

    ERROR - A record of a different type exists for the hostname @, could not create CNAME

You can try with *

It's working for me, but with another provider.

Well, it looks like I have to switch to another DNS provider ....

[Nick]

I have registered my domain name with godaddy. Google also provides domain name registration. Instead of switching to other DNS provider (e.g. DynDNS's Custom DNS which costs $29.95), can I switch to Google so that I can use wildcard subdomains? If yes, what is the step?

[Roberto Saccon]

unfortunatly no, if you register your domain with google (what I did), your namerservers are at godaddy.

[Nick]

My understanding is the nameservers at godaddy can be changed to the nameservers of the new DNS provider/registrar which provide DNS service.

Just in case, take a look at nick's answer here:
