Domains with Grand Island Web Hosting

Our Domain Manager includes a big array of controls for administering all your domain names Using its easy–to–use interface, you can lock ’n’ unlock your domain name, alter its DNS records and your WHOIS records, create unlimited subdomains or begin a domain name transfer process instantly.

To save you time, the Domain Manager tool is integrated into the web hosting Control Panel. From there, you can easily shield your domain registration information with the Whois Privacy Protection feature and secure your e–shop with SSLs.

The WHOIS information pertaining to your domain will become publicly visible to everyone after the domain name registration procedure itself. You will be able to evade that by ordering an Whois Privacy Protection service for your domain name. With it, your own personal or business information, including your name, email address and physical address, will be replaced with fictitious details. To Whois Privacy Protect your domain name, just select the domain and then click on the Whois Privacy Protection icon to request the activation of this service.

This particular service is available with most of the universal and country–specific domains that we’re offering. Have a closer look at the TLD information page on our website to see which domain name extensions are Whois Privacy Protection–eligible.

With our Domain Manager, you can easily manage plenty of domains from just one place. You will be granted access to an extensive array of DNS controls and will also be able to make changes to many domain names at the same time.

What’s more, if you happen to also have a cloud hosting account with us, you will be able to control both your domain names and your web sites from a single place.

From the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel, you will exercise total control over your domain’s DNS records.

A couple of hours will be necessary for the newly added DNS resource records to be propagated around the world.

At any time, you will be able to effortlessly point your domain name to our two domain parking templates – Under Construction and For Sale. Your domain will be parked straight away. You will be able to park as many domain names as you want!

With the GeoIP redirection tool built into the Domain Manager, you will be able to point a certain language version of your site to a certain geographic region. It has a user–friendly point–and–click interface where you do not need to type any code. Just insert the whereabouts of your prospective site visitors plus the URL that you want to load for those visitors.

For instance, if you have a German version of your web site at de.your–site.com, you’ll have to enter it in the URL field and then select Germany as a preferred target market. This way, when a visitor from Germany goes to your site, they’ll see de.your–site.com instead of your–site.com.

With our domain redirection tool, you will be able to point a domain or a sub–domain in your account to any website at all. Our tool features an intuitive interface, which will enable you to redirect the (sub)domains of your choosing with only a few clicks. In this way, you won’t need to deal with sophisticated .htaccess file modifications.

To redirect a domain, simply determine the destination path it will follow and our intelligent system will perform everything else for you and will momentarily point the domain to the preferred location.

From the Domain Manager, you’ll also be able to get an SSL certificate for your domain. With an SSL certificate, all the confidential info that your clients send via your site (on the order page, through a login form, and so on) will be encoded and the sent info will never be put at risk.

To get an SSL certificate for your domain, just fill in the required info and then click the Activate button. You can get a common SSL certificate, which will be enabled for only one single host, or a wildcard SSL certificate, which will be enabled for all the hosts under your domain name.

With the aid of the Wildcard DNS feature, you’ll be able to make all your active subdomains forward to the home page of your site. For example, if somebody types smth.domain.com or any.domain.com, they’ll be redirected to http://domain.com/.

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

To add a wildcard domain, navigate to the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel and then click the Add Host button on the right. At the bottom of the list of options, you will see the Wildcard Domain checkbox.
