Maybe I'm misunderstanding the term "DNS wildcard"... can you explain what that is in your scenario?
In the scenario you describe, I don't see a "DNS wildcard" that I understand, because I would be registering a domain for my CMS site, then pre-pending my client's company on the front, as you demonstrated with http://StickfordHomes.RealtorOffice.net. That would work, I just don't see what the wildcard part is... Also, StickfordHomes.RealtorOffice.net would be a subdomain of RealtorOffice.net... right? You must mean I wouldn't have to handle subdomains for each client... correct? Rick -----Original Message----- From: Michael E.

Rick, How about using DNS wildcard? Lots of app-as-a-service sites already use it. You can register a single generic sounding domain like realtoroffice.net. Then pre-append your client's company name on the URL like http:// Stickfordhomes.realtoroffice.net . This way, you do not need to manage any subdomains.
