Domain Names from eTownHost

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

Through the Domain Manager you may also order more services like ID protection and SSLs.

According to rules specified by ICANN, the WHOIS info pertaining to your domain is publicly disclosed and your personal or corporate details can be seen on the web by anyone. To help you conceal your domain name registration details from the public eye, we offer you a WHOIS protection feature at an attractive price. From the Domain Manager, simply indicate the domain name that you’d like to protect and click on the ID Protect button on the right to request the activation of this service.

You have to keep in mind that this service is available only with these domain name extensions: .info, .biz, .co, .co.za, .me, .tv, .pro, .cc, .net, .we.bs, .com and .org.

Working with our Domain Manager is very easy, regardless of whether you’ve got one or multiple domain names to administer. Via its easy–to–use interface, you can pick many domain names at a time and renew them (for one or several years), edit their nameservers or alter the WHOIS settings pertaining to them instantaneously.

In case you also have a web hosting account with us, you’ll be able to administer both multiple domains and multiple sites simultaneously from one single location.

We grant you absolute control over your domain names’ DNS resource records. Through the Custom DNS section of the Domain Manager, you’ll be able to modify various types of DNS resource records for a chosen domain. For instance, A, AAAA, MX, NS, SRV, CNAME and TXT resource records. To set a new DNS record, simply pick a domain name and fill in the new value in the respective DNS resource record field. To modify the DNS record – click on ’Modify’; to go back to the initial value – click ’Revert’.

Through the GeoIP location tool, also available in the Custom DNS section, you’ll be able to present a particular language version of your site to visitors from a specific geographic location.

With the GeoIP redirection tool included in the Domain Manager, you will be able to point a particular language version of your web site to a given geographical market. It features a simple point ’n’ click interface where you do not need to write any code. All you have to do is specify the whereabouts of your prospective website visitors and also the URL that you’d like to open for those visitors.

For example, if you’ve got a German version of your site at de.your–site.com, you will have to type it in the URL field and choose Germany as a preferred destination market. In this way, whenever a visitor coming from Germany pays a visit to your web site, they will see de.your–site.com rather than your–site.com.

With the help of the Wildcard DNS option, you will be able to make all your active sub–domains redirect to the index page of your website. For instance, when somebody types in any.domain.com or smth.domain.com, they will be redirected to http://domain.com/.

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

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

In order to develop a brand on the World Wide Web, sometimes you have to register several domains simultaneously – new–brand.com, new–brand.net, and so on. That is why our company offers a user–friendly bulk domain registration interface. It permits you to register an unlimited number of domain names simultaneously.

You could use the exact same WHOIS information for each domain or specify different WHOIS details for the domain names that you desire to register.
