Default Virtual Hosts and Wildcard DNS's?

Im trying to install Wordpress MU to my apache account (myhwd.com), in fact its installed fine but I want to reinstall it and utilise its virtual host functionality. So it will create blogs on subdomains as opposed to in a directory (newbog.myhwd.com instead of myhwd.com/newblog).

To enable this the installation instructions tell me to do the following...

2. In the <Directory> directive of your virtual host, look for this
line:
"AllowOverride None"
and change it to...
"AllowOverride FileInfo Options"

3. In the <VirtualHost> section of the config file for your host there
will be a line defining the hostname. You need to add the following
if you want virtual hosts to work properly:
"ServerAlias *.domain.tld"
Replace domain.tld with whatever your one is, and remove the quotes.


The problem is, I dont know how to do this? In fact I dont even think I can! Is Eukhost able to allow wildcard dns's and virtual hosts?

Thanks again
