Domains with Grand Island Web Hosting

From the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel, you will exercise complete control over your domain’s DNS records. You’ll be able to quickly edit a variety of DNS resource records, including A, AAAA, MX, NS, CNAME, SRV and TXT records. Setting new DNS resource records and editing them if necessary is unbelievably easy. Just fill in the desired value and hit the Add button. Several hours will be necessary for the new resource records to be propagated worldwide. In case you have to convert a DNS resource record to its former value, you can also do that with merely one mouse click.

Additionally, the Domain Manager tool gives you the chance to set name servers for your domain name or to direct visitors to different sections of your website according to their location.

When you register a new domain, the WHOIS information pertaining to it, by default, becomes instantly visible to the general public. In the Domain Manager incorporated into your Control Panel, you’ll find a WHOIS protection feature that can help you hide your personal details by substituting them with our own contact info.

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

With our Domain Manager, you’ll be able to easily administer many domain names from a single location. You will have access to an enormous array of DNS controls and will also be able to make changes to a lot of domain names at the same time.

What is more, in case you also have a cloud hosting account with us, you will be able to control both your domains and your web sites from a single location.

The Domain Manager is a key part of our hosting Control Panel and offers all the features that you need in order to manage your domains. It boasts an easy–to–work–with interface through which you can change DNS resource records, edit WHOIS settings, lock your domain or set up sub–domain names with merely a mouse click.

From the Domain Manager tool you can also order extra services such as Whois Privacy Protection and Secure Sockets Layer certificates.

The domain forwarding tool that’s included in our web hosting Control Panel enables you to point a domain or a sub–domain in your account to some other site of your preference. All you have to do is specify the host you need to forward along with the destination path. Our tool will take care of the redirection process and your domain name will start to point to the preferred location instantaneously.

This tool offers an intuitive interface, so you can forward a given domain or subdomain with a few clicks instead of making sophisticated .htaccess file modifications.

With the Wildcard DNS functionality, you will be able to make all your current sub–domains redirect to the main page of your site. For instance, when someone types in smth.domain.com or any.domain.com, they’ll visit http://domain.com/.

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

To activate a wildcard domain name, go to the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel and then click on the Add Host button located on the right. At the bottom of the options list, you will see the Wildcard Domain tickbox.
