# Cache everything for hostnames in a list

Cache everything for hostnames in a list

[Create a cache rule](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/how-to/cache-rules/create-dashboard/) to cache everything for hostnames that match a [custom hostname list](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/tools/lists/custom-lists/#lists-with-hostnames):

* **When incoming requests match**: Custom filter expression

  * Using the Expression Builder:  
  `Hostname is in list "my_hostnames"`
  * Using the Expression Editor:  
  `(http.host in $my_hostnames)`
* **Then**:

  * **Cache eligibility**: Eligible for cache

Note

The **is in list** operator requires an Enterprise plan. You must first [create a hostname list](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/tools/lists/create-dashboard/) in your account before you can reference it in a cache rule expression.
