Domain Names with Goo Hosting

The WHOIS info associated with your domain name will become publicly disclosed to everyone after the registration procedure itself. You will be able to escape that by activating an Whois Privacy Protection service for your domain. With it, your own personal or business details, including your name, e–mail and home address, will be replaced with fictitious details. To Whois Privacy Protect your domain, simply pick the domain name and after that click on the Whois Privacy Protection icon to activate this service.

This service is available with most of the generic and country–code top–level domain names that we’re offering. Take a look at the TLD information page on our web site to see which domains are Whois Privacy Protection–eligible.

The Domain Manager is a fundamental part of our web hosting Control Panel and includes all the features that you need to administer your domains. It features an easy–to–work–with interface through which you can change DNS settings, change WHOIS data, lock your domain or set up subdomain names with one click.

Via the Domain Manager you can also request additional services such as Whois Privacy Protection and Secure Sockets Layer certificates.

We, at Goo Hosting, grant you complete control over your domain names’ DNS resource records. From the Custom DNS section of the Domain Manager, you can modify a variety of DNS resource records for a selected domain. For example, A, AAAA, MX, NS, SRV, CNAME and TXT resource records. To set a new DNS resource record, just choose a domain name and then specify the new value in the respective resource record field. To update the resource record – click ’Modify’; to recover the default value – click on ’Revert’.

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

Our Domain Manager will give you full control over multiple domains. Simply indicate the domains whose settings you need to alter and then specify the action that you’d like to accomplish. You will be able to renew the specified domains, to alter their WHOIS settings and even to modify their name servers simultaneously.

The option to manage many domains at the same time can help domain owners save time on common domain management procedures.

With the Registrar Lock feature turned on, you can be confident that your domain is defended against cybertheft. Any individual who tries an unauthorized domain transfer will be immediately stopped and the domain transfer request – declined.

In the event that, at some point, you choose to transfer your domain to some other registrar, you will be able to unlock it with just a click of the mouse. You’ll find the domain locking/unlocking functionality in the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel.

With our domain name forwarding tool, you can easily point a domain or a sub–domain in your account to any site at all. Our tool offers an easy–to–use interface, which allows you to forward the (sub)domains that you want with only a couple of clicks of the mouse. In this way, you will not have to deal with complex .htaccess file modifications.

To forward a domain, just select the destination path it will follow and our clever system will do the rest for you and will instantaneously redirect the domain to the new location.

A 24/7 technical support service is included in our domain name management plan. Our techs are ready to help you with any problem that you might have registering, transferring or administering your domains. For instance, if you need to alter your domain’s name servers, but are not aware of how to accomplish that, just inform us and we will give you a hand.

You can contact our client care team representatives via e–mail or via the tech support ticket system. You can also use the telephone or the live chat service during work hours. We offer a 1–hour client support ticket response time guarantee.

In case you run an e–commerce portal that has an order form or a community–focused web portal that has a member’s login page, then you’ll need to get an SSL certificate to protect these sections and also to reassure your clients that their information is safe. To do this, you simply need to request an SSL certificate for a specific host via the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel.

Just push the Order SSL Certificate button, indicate the kind of certificate that you prefer – conventional or wildcard, and fill in the required details. Then press the Order button and we will give you your SSL certificate’s details.

With the GeoIP redirection tool included in the Domain Manager, you will be able to point a certain language version of your website to a certain geographic region. It features a simple point & click interface where you don’t have to insert any code. You just have to specify the country of origin of your prospective site visitors plus the URL that you want to open for those visitors.

For example, if you have a German version of your site at de.your–site.com, you must type it in the URL field and then choose Germany as a desired destination market. In this way, when a visitor coming from Germany visits your web site, they’ll see de.your–site.com instead of your–site.com.
