WHOIS Privacy Protection

If you manage an Internet shop, which accepts payments, it’s mandatory that you offer your website visitors a protected payment info submission section. And this is precisely where SSL certificates come into play – they encode the connection between your site and the customer. Typically, you have to go to a third–party supplier to buy an SSL certificate. That is not the case with Hostbot.

With Hostbot, you’ll be able to activate a generic SSL certificate or even a wildcard SSL certificate right through your Control Panel.

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.

If you desire to learn what you can do with our web hosting Control Panel, check Hostbot’s video tutorials. We have amassed an impressive selection of explanatory video clips that cover each section of our hosting Control Panel.

In case you can’t find a how–to video that can help you, we also have step–by–step manuals as well as a comprehensive F.A.Q. library, both of which feature answers to the questions that our customer support team is asked the most. If you want live aid, you can always contact our tech support staff reps – they’ll be here for you 24 hours a day.

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 the Wildcard DNS feature, you can make all your sub–domains forward to the home page of your web site. For example, if someone types in smth.domain.com or any.domain.com, they’ll be redirected to http://domain.com/.

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

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

In case you have a standalone domain with us, and yet you also desire to take advantage of our cloud hosting packages, you’ll be able to do this at any moment with merely a couple of clicks of the mouse. You will keep your Control Panel and will also be able to administer your domains, sites and billing transactions from one single location.

Furthermore, you will be able to take advantage of all the bonuses associated with our cloud hosting packages, including a free domain name registration option.
