How is a wildcard subdomain configured?
An A record * .domain.com -> IP address
and in Nginx on the server with that IP address
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.com *.domain.com;I think this is a good demo to share with family and am glad this organization has c.uk. Another more general example to share with family is: http://www2.scotiaonline.scotiabank.com.online.authenticatio... These are both cases where the subdomain can trick people. The .c.uk one is a bit more dangerous as they claim a lot of people end up landing on those pages. I had a quick look through some other second level doma…
Edit: People were first able to register .uk domains last year, and if the .co.uk domain already exists then you must own it in order to register the .uk domain.

I didn't know single letter domains were allowed? For example none of a.com, b.com, c.com etc. work - do other gTLD allow single letter domains then?

Why is that interesting? c.uk is a registered domain, the WHOIS for subdomains correctly states that it can't be registered.
> Why is that interesting? Because I found it interesting.
Is it that it seems too easy to typo?
Interesting that they would allow such an odd domain to be registered in the first place. It seems like a big security hole.
You're missing something here. The UK is a country that allows second-level domains e.g., co.uk, gov.uk, org.uk as well as just domains ending in .uk. This organizations owns c.uk (so the who-is you should lookup is just c.uk. What I find hard to believe is that ti looks like it was registered on: 10-Jun-2014!?

What I find hard to believe and just realized was that this domain was registered on 10-Jun-2014. Edit: People were first able to register .uk domains last year, and if the .co.uk domain already exists then you must own it in order to register the .uk domain.

Direct registrations under .uk (and not just .co.uk, .org.uk etc) were only opened last year.
