it is possible, and you do it the exact same way you did in your question, you just add your domain with a * as the subdomain, so adding *.example.com will add a wildcard subdomain to your service

i've been adding www.example.com and example.com this whole time.

it's probably better adding www and @ as their own domains though, because if in the future you want to add a cdn.example.com for example or whatever then it'll complicate things since you'll first need to decouple all subdomains from existing service

8'm letting people use .bl0ggers.com but i might need cdn.bl0ggers.com someday

so let's say you have a seperate cdn service, or maybe a blog.example.com, if you want it to be a in a seperate service then you'd need to undo the wildcard subdomain because with a wildcard subdomain all subdomains are routed to the wildcard subdomain service

I"D STILL argue it's better not to use wildcard subdomains if it's only for www and @ though but it shouldn't interfere in the way I said it would

why is this not resolving https://bl0ggers.com/ but www is

wildcard subdomains only match subdomains

exactly, wildcard subdomains are only for subdomains

(although personally, I'd recommend being explicit with what domains should route to your service unless you actually need a catch all, but thats just my recommendation)

i do need a catchall like chovy.substack.com my bl0ggers page will be chovy.bl0ggers.com
