Domain Names with 506Host

The WHOIS information associated with your domain becomes publicly available to everyone after the domain name registration procedure itself. You’ll be able to skip that by activating an Whois Privacy Protection service for your domain name. With it, your own personal or business information, including your name, e–mail and home address, will be substituted with fictitious details. To enable Whois Privacy Protection for your domain, simply choose the domain name and click on the Whois Privacy Protection button to activate this service.

This particular service is available with most of the universal and country–specific top–level domain names that we’re offering. Make sure you have a look at the TLD information page on our site to find out which top–level domain name extensions are Whois Privacy Protection–eligible.

The Domain Manager is a vital part of our hosting Control Panel and includes all the features that you need in order to administer your domain names. It features a user–friendly interface via which you can update DNS resource records, update WHOIS information, lock your domain or create subdomain names with merely a simple mouse click.

Through the Domain Manager you could also purchase extra services such as Whois Privacy Protection and digital certificates.

Through our Domain Manager, you will be able to effortlessly manage many domain names from one single location. You’ll receive access to a large set of DNS controls and will be able to make modifications to different domains at the same time.

Also, if you also have a cloud hosting account with us, you’ll be able to control both your domains and your sites from one single location.

At 506Host, we give you total authority over your domain names’ DNS resource records. Via the Custom DNS section of the Domain Manager, you can change different types 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 record, just pick a domain name and then fill in the new value in the corresponding DNS resource record field. To update the resource record – click on ’Modify’; to recover the initial value – click ’Revert’.

Through the GeoIP location tool, also available in the Custom DNS section, you will be able to present a specific language version of your web site to people from a particular geographical region.

When registering a domain, you’ll be asked to supply precise and up–to–date registration info, no matter if you’re an individual or a company. That is the reason why, you’ll have to update your WHOIS records whenever needed. However, not all domain name extensions support this functionality by default, so first check if this option is available before you attempt a WHOIS update.

Via the Domain Manager in your Control Panel, you will be able to edit the registrant, technical and admin contact information for one or multiple domains at once. All the changes that you make will be updated live right away!

By locking your domain name, you’ll be able to protect it from unapproved transfers. This way, any individual who attempts to start a transfer of your domain name to another registrar will be momentarily stopped.

And in case you want to to transfer the domain name to another registrar yourself, you can unlock it with one single click of the mouse. The locking/unlocking feature is available in the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel. Simply select a domain and click the Registrar Lock icon to lock/unlock it.
