They make it easy to set up a cronjob to update your IP address, so you can easily use your own box at home with a dynamic IP. In addition, they have a simple web gui, so you can easily add an 'A' record for *.mydomain.tld creating a wildcard subdomain. Works fine for sub-sub-domains too e.g. *.subdomain.mydomain.tld -- no problem.\r\n\r\nBoth those features are free for up to three domain names. Naturally, you can create as many subdomains as you want for free for just one domain. \r\n\r\nInitially I had a typo in my .conf file where I'd fat-fingered WILDCARD_HOST, but kentonv kindly pointed that out to me and Boom! It just worked :-)"}}
