Domains with Hostbot

According to regulations ratified by ICANN, the WHOIS info pertaining to your domain is publicly exposed and your personal or corporate information can be seen on the Internet by anybody. To help you hide your registration details from the public eye, Hostbot offers you a WHOIS protection feature at a truly good price. In the Domain Manager, just choose the domain that you’d like to protect and click the Whois Privacy Protection icon on the right to activate this feature.

You should take into account that this particular service is available only with the following domain name extensions: .info, .biz, .co, .co.za, .me, .tv, .pro, .cc, .net, .com and .org.

From the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel, you will exert total authority over your domain name’s DNS resource records. You will be able to effortlessly update different DNS records, including A, AAAA, MX, NS, CNAME, SRV and TXT records. Adding new DNS resource records and updating them when necessary is incredibly easy. Just specify the new value and then click on the action button. A couple of hours will be necessary for the updated records to be propagated around the world. If you want to convert a DNS resource record to its default state, you can also do that with a simple click of the mouse.

Plus, the Domain Manager enables you to set name servers for your domain or to point visitors to different parts of your site on the basis of their location.

Working with our Domain Manager is rather easy, no matter if you have one or many domains to manage. Via its intuitive interface, you can pick many domains at once and renew them (for one or several years), modify their nameservers or edit the WHOIS information associated with them in no time.

If you also have a hosting account with Hostbot, you will be able to administer both multiple domains and multiple sites at once from one single location.

Within the Control Panel you’ll find a point & click domain name administration interface offering plenty of controls for administering many domains at a time. You’ll be able to quickly create sub–domain names, forward web sites, edit the name servers and the WHOIS info associated with a domain, add custom DNS entries and much more.

Apart from the standard domain controls, in the Domain Manager you’ll also find an option to mask your registration details by using the Whois Privacy Protection option as well as to safeguard your e–store’s monetary transactions with standard or wildcard Secure Sockets Layer certificates.

With our domain name forwarding tool, you will be able to point a domain or a subdomain in your account to any web site that you want. This tool sports an easy–to–use interface, which enables you to redirect the (sub)domain names that you want with only a couple of clicks. Hence, you won’t have to cope with intricate modifications to the .htaccess file.

In order to forward a domain, simply select the destination path it must follow and our intelligent tool will carry out the rest instead of you and will instantaneously redirect the domain name to the newly specified location.

You can park a registered domain name by pointing it to one of our two domain parking templates – Under Construction or For Sale. The domain parking process is really simple and will go into effect momentarily. You can park as many domain names as you need. If you need to un–park the domain – you can perform this operation with merely a click of the mouse.

On top of that, you can tweak our two domain name parking templates using custom messages and images in order to make them more unique.
