Hi there
Can you tell me if there are any quantity restrictions for DNS Cnames? I want to setup a cname for every Username of my users, (more than 1000 Users!)
Thanks alot ;)

Okay I asked the support and got the following answer:
*You can use as many CNAMEs as you wish. There is no limit.
Our DNS is a free DNS service, as long as you have droplets with us.*
I recommend adding a wildcard CNAME record instead as it scales better than thousands of records:
This makes everything under yourdomain.com (such as user1.yourdomain.com, user2.yourdomain.com, something.user1.yourdomain.com, etc.) point to the same hostname which is
yourdomain.com.in the screenshot.
