Forwarders or the wildCard

[Danie I.]

Hello Barry, 
Thank you very much for your kind reply.

Direct individual entries for each of subdomains
pointing to an NS is good way, but I have some
limitations on number of entries that I can create at
worldwidedns.Net  as I am using their service.

I shall appreciate if there is an alternative
competitive service for unlimited number of entries in
the zone? (secure in transfers)

or a cheap place where I can install my own dns server
?
Infact, I am a Newbie, perhaps.

Any advice or help please?
