I want to create a wildcard sub-domain for a sub-domain something like *.abc.domain.com. Is it possible to create such a domain name in cpanel?
Also, when I create a wildcard sub-domain on main domain i.e. *.domain.com, then cpanel.domain.com goes where *.domain.com points. How to get cpanel login on cpanel.domain.com when *.domain.com is configured?
You have asked two questions. Well, let me answer them separately.
Answer to your first question is dependent on your host. If your host supports wildcard subdomains, in most cases wildcard sub-sub-domains are also supported. But a very obvious condition is that abc.domain.com must already exist before creating *.abc.domain.com
The answer for your second question is that wildcard subdomains always resolve at the last. ie. If you have both subdomain.domain.com and *.domain.com configured in your cPanel, only non-existent subdomains like random1.domain.com and random2.domain.com will resolve to *.domain.com. If anyone tries to access subdomain.domain.com, *.domain.com doesn't resolve because subdomain.domain.com already exists.
So, If at present, you are able to access cPanel through cpanel.domain.com, there will surely be a CNAME record in your DNS as cpanel.domain.com. Since this already exists, your wildcard will not resolve. You should be able to access cPanel through cpanel.domain.com without any problem. If at all you are not able to access it, domain.com:2082, domain.com:2083 and domain.com/cpanel(sometimes not) are always there.
