Domain Names by CloudHost

The Domain Manager is an essential part of our web hosting Control Panel and includes all the features that you need in order to administer your domains. It features an easy–to–work–with interface via which you can change DNS records, change WHOIS records, lock your domain or create sub–domain names with a simple click of the mouse.

Via the Domain Manager tool you may also purchase extra services such as ID protection and SSLs.

Through our Domain Manager, you’ll be able to effortlessly manage a plethora of domains from a single place. You will be granted access to a rich array of DNS controls and will be able to make changes to plenty of domains at the same time.

On top of that, in case you also have a cloud hosting account with CloudHost, you will be able to manage both your domain names and your web sites from one single location.

When you register a new domain name, the WHOIS info associated with it, by rule, becomes instantly visible to the general public. In the Domain Manager included in your Control Panel, you can find a WHOIS protection functionality that can help you mask your private details by replacing them with our own contact information.

The WHOIS protection option is available with the majority of the domain name extensions offered on our web sute: .com, .info, .biz, .net, .org, .co, .co.za, .me, .tv, .pro, .cc and .we.bs.

Through the Custom DNS Records section of our Domain Manager, you can easily edit all the DNS records for your domain with only a single click! All essential types of DNS resource records are supported, including A, AAAA, MX, NS, CNAME, SRV and TXT records. All you have to do is fill in the new value for the DNS record that you want to add or modify, click the action button and allow a little time for the new record to be propagated worldwide. Another alternative is to revert a DNS record to its former value.

What’s more, if you want to make your web site’s nameservers look like your actual domain, you can accomplish that with just a simple click from the Domain Manager.

In our Domain Manager you will find an easy–to–use tool, which permits you to filter your traffic in accordance with the visitors’ physical location. With our GeoIP location tool, you will be able to effortlessly set up location–based redirections and forward your visitors to specific areas of your website. For example, you will be able to redirect the US traffic to your home page, and the visitors from Spain to a sub–domain – es.your–website.com, for example.

With this easy–to–work–with tool, you’ll no longer have to insert dozens of lines of code in your .htaccess file. Everything’s tackled by the tool itself.

If you want to use WordPress MultiSite or another multi–site web app, or even if you want to stop users from typing the ’www.’ part of your domain name incorrectly, you’ll be able to take advantage of the wildcard domain activation options offered by our Domain Manager interface.

With the Wildcard feature included in the Domain Manager, you will be able to forward all the hosts and subdomains under a certain domain name, for example – blog.domain.com or forum.domain.com, to the home page of your website.

With our domain redirection tool, you can point a domain or a subdomain in your account to any website that you want. Our tool features an intuitive interface, which enables you to forward the (sub)domain names that you want with merely a few mouse clicks. In this way, you will not need to deal with complex .htaccess file modifications.

In order to redirect a domain name, just define a preferred destination path and our intelligent tool will accomplish the rest instead of you and will instantaneously forward the domain to the newly specified location.

You will be able to quickly upgrade the domain administration account that you have with us to any of our cloud hosting packages. By doing this, you’ll be able to effortlessly administer both your domain names and websites from one place. To activate all the hosting options in your Control Panel, just visit the Upgrade Plan menu situated on the left and pick the plan that you desire to upgrade to.

The moment we activate the selected package, you’ll get a range of tools, including a drag ’n’ drop File Manager, a hotlink protection tool, a domain redirection tool, a detailed website traffic statistics tool, a 1–click Web Applications Installer using which you will be able to install personal diaries, community sites, photo galleries, etc.
