When entering Custom URL entries into the Hosted Web Security web console, you will need to obey the following rules:

• You cannot enter a protocol header, e.g. http:// or https://. This is not required.
• You cannot enter an asterisk (*), this is implied.
• You cannot start the URL with a period (.), this is implied.

Entering the following URL into the Custom URL module:

whatever.com

Automatically implies *.whatever.com or just whatever.com. 

To allow or block a specific subdomain you should enter it in full, e.g.

http://subdomain.domain.com

becomes

subdomain.domain.com

To allow all sub-domains for domain.com, simply add:

domain.com
