Domains from Wide Open Host

According to rules introduced by ICANN, the WHOIS information associated with your domain is publicly published and your personal or corporate information can be seen on the web by anybody. To help you hide your domain registration information from the public, we offer you a WHOIS protection solution at a truly good price. Inside the Domain Manager, just pick the domain that you’d like to protect and then click on the ID Protect icon on the right to activate this feature.

You need to remember that this given service is available solely with the following TLDs: .info, .biz, .co, .co.za, .me, .tv, .pro, .cc, .net, .we.bs, .com and .org.

Working with our Domain Manager is truly easy, no matter if you have one or many domain names to administer. Via its intuitive interface, you can select multiple domain names at the same time and renew them (for one or multiple years), alter their nameservers or edit the WHOIS info pertaining to them instantly.

If you happen to also have a web hosting account with Wide Open Host, you will be able to administer both multiple domain names and multiple web sites all at once from one location.

Inside the Control Panel you will find a point ’n’ click domain name management interface featuring loads of controls for administering several domains simultaneously. You’ll be able to quickly set up sub–domains, forward sites, alter the nameservers or the WHOIS data associated with a domain, specify custom DNS entries and a lot more.

Apart from the standard domain controls, in the Domain Manager you’ll also find an option to mask your registration info by using the WHOIS protection functionality and to safeguard your Internet shop’s monetary transactions with traditional or wildcard SSLs.

Via the Custom DNS section of the Domain Manager, you will be able to change different types of DNS resource records for your domain names, among them A, AAAA, MX, NS, SRV, CNAME and TXT resource records. Adding a new record is quite easy. You simply have to choose a domain name and specify the resource record that you want. Any change you’ve made will be reflected online within one day. In case you’d like to restore the original resource record value, simply press the Revert button.

The Custom DNS section also includes a GeoIP location tool, which allows you to redirect visitors from a particular geographical region to a particular language version of your web site.

In our Domain Manager you can find an easy–to–use tool, which enables you to filter out your site traffic according to the visitors’ location. With Wide Open Host’s GeoIP redirection tool, you’ll be able to effortlessly configure location–based redirects and direct people to specific areas of your website. For example, you can redirect the US traffic to your index page, and the traffic coming from Spain to a subdomain – es.your–website.com, for example.

Thanks to this easy–to–use tool, you’ll no longer have to fill dozens of lines of code in the .htaccess file. Everything is carried out by the tool itself.

In case you’ve got a standalone domain with Wide Open Host, but you also want to take advantage of our cloud hosting offers, you will be able to do this at any moment with only a few mouse clicks. You will keep your Control Panel and will also be able to administer your domain names, sites and billing transactions from a single location.

In addition, you will be able to make use of all the bonuses associated with our cloud hosting packages, among them a cost–free domain registration option.
