WHOIS Privacy Protection

Via the Domain Manager, you’ll also be able to purchase an SSL certificate for your domain. With an SSL certificate, all the private details that your customers send via your site (on the order page, through a login form, etc.) will be encoded and the sent information will never be affected.

To enable an SSL certificate for your domain name, simply enter the required information and then click the Activate button. You can order a normal SSL certificate, which will be valid for a single host, or a wildcard SSL certificate, which will be valid for all the hosts under your domain name.

With the help of the Wildcard DNS functionality, you’ll be able to make all your sub–domains direct to the home page of your site. For example, if somebody enters any.domain.com or smth.domain.com, they will visit http://domain.com/.

You might need the Wildcard DNS functionality for a multi–site application such as Joomla^™ Multi–Site or WordPress.

To add a wildcard domain, visit the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel and then click on the Add Host button on the right. At the bottom of the list of options, you’ll notice the Wildcard Domain checkbox.

In case you need to park a domain, you will be able to quickly achieve this with our Domain Parking tool. At any given time, you’ll be able to easily point your domain name to our two domain name parking themes – For Sale and Under Construction. The domain name will be parked immediately. You’ll be able to park as many domain names as you desire!

In order to personalize the domain parking templates, you can also embed custom images and messages.

In our Domain Manager you’ll find a user–friendly tool, which will allow you to filter your web site traffic on the basis of the visitors’ location. With Domain Hostess Web Services’s GeoIP location tool, you’ll be able to easily set up location–based redirects and direct visitors to specific parts of your site. For example, you’ll be able to direct the US traffic to your main page, and the traffic coming from Spain to a subdomain – es.your–website.com, for example.

With this simple tool, you will no longer need to type dozens of lines of code in the .htaccess file. Everything’s tackled by the tool itself.

Within the Control Panel there’s a point–and–click domain name administration tool with a lot of controls for administering many domain names at a time. You will be able to effortlessly create sub–domains, redirect sites, change the name servers and the WHOIS info associated with a domain name, specify custom DNS entries and even more.

Aside from the standard domain name controls, in the Domain Manager you will also find an option to shield your domain name registration information using the Whois Privacy Protection functionality and to secure your online shop’s transactions with standard or wildcard Secure Sockets Layer certificates.

You’ll be able to renew the specified domains, to change their WHOIS settings and even to modify their nameservers simultaneously.

The option to administer numerous domain names simultaneously will help domain owners save time on daily domain name management procedures.

We grant you complete control over your domains’ DNS settings. Through the Custom DNS section of the Domain Manager, you can update various DNS resource records for a selected domain. These include A, AAAA, MX, NS, SRV, CNAME and TXT records. To set a new record, simply pick a domain and then fill in the new value in the respective DNS record field. To update the DNS record – click ’Modify’; to return to the old value – click on ’Revert’.

With the GeoIP location tool, also available in the Custom DNS section, you’ll be able to show a given language version of your website to people from a given geographical area.
