Domains by Hostnuke

The Domain Manager is an indispensable part of our web hosting Control Panel and offers all the features that you need in order to manage your domain names. It features a well–designed interface through which you can update DNS records, alter WHOIS settings, lock your domain name or create sub–domains with only a click.

From the Domain Manager tool you can even request additional services like WHOIS protection and digital certificates.

By default, the WHOIS information pertaining to your domain name is publicly available and your personal or corporate details can be seen online by everyone. To help you hide your registration info from the general public, we offer you a WHOIS protection option at a fantastic price. In the Domain Manager, simply select the domain that you’d like to protect and after that click on the ID Protect icon on the right to activate this feature.

You need to remember that this given service is available only with these top–level domain name extensions: .info, .biz, .co, .co.za, .me, .tv, .pro, .cc, .net, .we.bs, .com and .org.

With the Domain Manager, you will exercise total authority over your domain’s DNS records. You’ll be able to easily edit different DNS resource records, including A, AAAA, MX, NS, etc. records. Adding new DNS records is rather easy. And in the event that you need to convert a DNS record to its former status, you can do that with only one mouse click.

With our Domain Manager, you’ll be able to also direct your visitors to different sections of your web site in accordance with their whereabouts.

Working with our Domain Manager is extremely easy, regardless of whether you’ve got one or multiple domain names to manage. Through its intuitive interface, you can select numerous domain names at a time and renew them (for one or multiple years), change their nameservers or alter the WHOIS information pertaining to them right away.

If you also have a hosting account with us, you’ll be able to administer both multiple domains and multiple websites simultaneously from just one single place.

With the Wildcard DNS functionality, you’ll be able to make all your active subdomains open the main page of your website. For example, if someone types in smth.domain.com or any.domain.com, they will be forwarded to http://domain.com/.

You might need the Wildcard DNS feature for a multisite web application such as Joomla^™ Multi–Site or WordPress.

To add a wildcard domain name, proceed to the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel and click on the Add Host button located on the right. At the bottom of the options list, you will notice the Wildcard Domain tick box.

With the Registrar Lock option enabled, you can be sure that your domain name is defended from online robbery. Any individual who tries an unapproved domain transfer will be instantaneously stopped and the domain transfer request – denied.

In the event that, at a certain point, you choose to transfer your domain name to some other domain registrar, you’ll be able to unlock it with a mere click of the mouse. You’ll find the locking/unlocking functionality in the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel.

In case you have to park a domain name, you will be able to quickly accomplish that with our Domain Parking interface. At any given moment, you will be able to easily point your domain name to our two domain name parking templates – For Sale and Under Construction. The domain will be parked right away. You can park as many domains as you like!

To individualize the domain parking themes, you can also insert custom messages and images.

Using the GeoIP location tool incorporated into the Domain Manager, you will be able to point a certain language version of your website to a particular geographical market. It sports an easy–to–use point ’n’ click interface where you don’t need to add any code. Just specify the location of your prospective site visitors and the URL that you’d like to open for those visitors.

For example, if you have a German version of your site at de.your–site.com, you have to enter it in the URL field and then select Germany as a destination market. Thus, whenever a visitor coming from Germany opens your website, they’ll see de.your–site.com and not your–site.com.
