WHOIS Privacy Protection

In case you run a shopping portal, which accepts credit card payments, it’s crucial that you offer your website visitors a safe payment information submission page. And this is precisely where SSL certificates come into play – they encipher the connection between your site and the client. Often, you have to go to a third–party vendor to order an SSL. That is not the situation with Hosting Smiles.

With Hosting Smiles, you will be able to order a generic SSL certificate or even a wildcard SSL certificate straight from your Control Panel.

Every domain owner is asked to give detailed and correct registrant info. This is actually the so–called WHOIS information. Since it needs to be as up to date as possible, it often needs to be edited. And if you have to edit the WHOIS information for more than one single domain at a time, this can be a really hard operation.

Through the Domain Manager interface, you will be able to effortlessly edit the WHOIS info for one or several domain names simultaneously. All modifications will be reflected live almost instantly.

Working with our Domain Manager is really easy, no matter if you have one or multiple domain names to manage. Via its simple–to–use interface, you can pick numerous domain names at a time and renew them (for one or several years), update their name servers or update the WHOIS info pertaining to them immediately.

In case you also have a hosting account with Hosting Smiles, you’ll be able to administer both multiple domain names and multiple web sites at once from one single place.

With Hosting Smiles, you will be able to easily prevent your domain name from getting transferred away without your approval by "locking" it at your present domain name registrar. This won’t influence the way the domain behaves in any respect whatsoever, but will instantaneously stop all domain name transfer requests.

And in case you have to transfer your domain, you can simply unlock it. Locking and unlocking a domain name is quite easy and requires only one single click of the mouse.

A 24/7 technical support service is included in our domain management plan. Our technical support engineers are ready to help you with any difficulty that you might have registering, transferring or managing your domain names. For instance, if you need to modify the name servers for your domain, but don’t know how to do this, just let us know and we’ll help you.

You can get in touch with our help desk support team via email or through the ticketing system. You can also use the phone or our live chat service during working hours. We offer a one–hour support ticket response guarantee.

The Domain Manager offers you the opportunity to address a specific target audience on the basis of its location. With our GeoIP location tool, you can effortlessly forward the visitors from a particular geographical region to a particular part of your web site that targets their needs. For example, if you desire to build a French version of your web site, you can easily set up a subdomain fr.your–website.com and utilize the tool to point the people from France and from the French–speaking countries around the world to this particular subdomain.

The GeoIP location tool has a simple interface via which you will be able to set up a redirection with a simple click. There’s no need to type any code in the .htaccess file.

In case you have only a domain with Hosting Smiles, and yet you also desire to transfer your website(s) to our web hosting platform, you can just move to one of our cloud hosting plans. Simply go to the Upgrade Plan section of your Domain Control Panel and select the plan that you desire to switch to. We will then activate each one of the available web hosting options for you and you will be able to take full advantage of all the website installation and administration tools that are included in the Control Panel.

All our hosting plans offer a drag ’n’ drop File Manager, webmail access, the option to set up multiple MySQL databases and to view comprehensive site traffic statistics, and much more, so all you’ll have to take into account is the amount of system resources that you require for your web sites.
