WHOIS Privacy Protection

In case you have a shopping portal, which accepts credit card payments, it is vital that you offer your customers a safe payment information submission page. And this is where SSL certificates come into play – they encrypt the connection between your website and the client. Generally, you need to go to a 3rd–party supplier to order an SSL. That’s not the case with OpenHost.

With OpenHost, you can obtain a conventional SSL certificate or even a wildcard SSL certificate directly from your Control Panel.

With the Registrar Lock functionality turned on, you can be sure that your domain name is safeguarded against online robbery. Any person who tries an unauthorized domain name transfer will be immediately stopped and the domain name transfer request – denied.

If, at a given point, you decide to transfer your domain name to another registrar, you will be able to unlock it with a simple click of the mouse. You can find the locking/unlocking feature in the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel.

With our domain name redirection tool, you can easily point a domain or a subdomain in your account to any website at all. It sports a user–friendly interface, which allows you to redirect the (sub)domain names of your choice with merely a few clicks. Thus, you will not need to cope with elaborate .htaccess file modifications.

To forward a domain, just select the destination path it must follow and our clever system will perform the rest on your behalf and will instantly point the domain to the newly specified location.

You can park an active domain name by pointing it to one of OpenHost’s two domain parking themes – For Sale or Under Construction. The domain parking procedure is rather simple and will go into effect right away. You can park as many domains as you like. And in case you need to un–park the domain name – you can do this with just a click.

Plus, you can modify our two domain parking templates using custom text and images to make them more personalized.

At OpenHost, we give you total control over your domain names’ DNS resource records. From the Custom DNS section of the Domain Manager, you will be able to modify various types of DNS records for a chosen domain. These include A, AAAA, MX, NS, SRV, CNAME and TXT records. To add a new record, simply choose a domain and then enter the desired value in the respective record field. To modify the record – click ’Modify’; to reset the default value – click ’Revert’.

Via the GeoIP location tool, also available in the Custom DNS section, you can present a particular language version of your site to visitors from a given geographical area.

Working with our Domain Manager is rather easy, regardless of whether you’ve got one or numerous domains to administer. Via its simple–to–use interface, you can select multiple domains at the same time and renew them (for one or multiple years), update their nameservers or alter the WHOIS info pertaining to them in a jiffy.

If you happen to also have a web hosting account with OpenHost, you will be able to manage both multiple domains and multiple websites at once from one single place.

The Domain Manager gives you the possibility to address a specific target audience on the basis of its physical location. With the GeoIP location tool, you can easily redirect the visitors from a particular geographic location to a specific section of your web site that addresses their demands. For instance, if you want to make a French version of your website, you can easily set up a sub–domain fr.your–website.com and use the tool to send the individuals from France and from the French–speaking countries around the world to this specific subdomain.

The GeoIP redirection tool has a simple interface through which you can set up a redirection with a simple click. There’s no necessity to type any code in the .htaccess file.
