Domain Names with Obama Hosts

Working with our Domain Manager is truly easy, irrespective of whether you’ve got one or numerous domains to administer. Via its simple–to–use interface, you can pick numerous domain names at the same time and renew them (for one or multiple years), modify their name servers or update the WHOIS information pertaining to them right away.

In case you also have a web hosting account with Obama Hosts, you’ll be able to administer both multiple domains and multiple websites all at once from one and the same place.

Our Domain Manager includes a large array of controls for administering all your domains Using its easy–to–navigate interface, you can lock and unlock your domain, alter its DNS resource records and your WHOIS information, create an unlimited number of subdomains or initiate a domain name transfer process momentarily.

For your convenience, the Domain Manager tool is integrated into the web hosting Control Panel. From there, you can also hide your domain name registration details with the WHOIS protection functionality and protect your shopping portal with digital certificates.

The WHOIS info pertaining to your domain becomes publicly available to everyone right after the domain registration procedure itself. You can escape that by enabling an ID protection service for your domain. With it, your personal or corporate info, including your name, e–mail and physical address, will be replaced with fictitious info. To order ID protection for your domain, simply select the domain and click the ID Protect icon to request the activation of this service.

This particular service is available with the majority of the universal and country–specific TLDs that we are offering. Make sure you examine the TLD information page on our website to learn which TLD extensions are ID protection–eligible.

We, at Obama Hosts, give you total authority over your domains’ DNS settings. From the Custom DNS section of the Domain Manager, you will be able to alter various DNS records for a selected domain. For example, A, AAAA, MX, NS, SRV, CNAME and TXT resource records. To add a new DNS record, all you have to do is select a domain name and fill in the desired value in the respective resource record field. To update the DNS resource record – click on ’Modify’; to retrieve the previous value – click on ’Revert’.

Via the GeoIP location tool, also included in the Custom DNS section, you’ll be able to present a certain language version of your web site to visitors from a specific geographical region.

With our domain redirection tool, you can easily point a domain or a subdomain in your account to any website that you want.
