DNS
Service
Our DNS Controls are a breakthrough in the domain
name industry. Our technology partner has spent
years pioneering this service and we make it
available to you. It allows for near real time
(approximately 4 seconds) changes to your domain
name instead of having to wait 12 to 24 hours needed
for most domain registrars or the "several days" by
some hosting providers.
You have complete and total access to your DNS
records including:
A (Address) Using this
type of record allows you to associate a host with
an IP address. The IP address that you use does not
have to be on your network. For example, you could
have the host record for www point to 207.46.130.14
(the address for the Microsoft web site). You can
also use this to eliminate having to route your
domain through your host's DNS (assigning your
domain to their name servers) by pointing it
directly to the IP of the server you are hosted on.
You have full control!
MXE (Mail Easy) Using a
mail record allows you to specify the address of the
mail server that you want to handle all incoming
mail. You can use multiple mail servers and specify
preferences if you wish.
MX (Mail) Can be either
a host name under your domain name (for example,
"mail3") or the name of a mail server (for example,
"mail.myhost.com.").
CNAME (Alias) An alias
record type is used to associate a host name with
another host. The host that you wish to point to
does not have to be on your network. For example,
you could have the host record for www point to
www.google.com.
Forwarding Your Domain to Another URL
You can forward your parked domain to an existing Web site. When visitors go to the domain you forwarded, their Web browser automatically forwards them to the URL you specified. For example, you own
onecoolexample.com and want people who visit it to be redirected to
coolexample.net.
You can also add masking to your forwarded domains,
which prevents the forwarded domain URL from
displaying in the browser's address bar. If you set
up masking, you specify a title and meta tags to
assist with ranking your Web site on search engines
Domain
Aliasing
Domain aliasing, or domain stacking,
is creating additional domain names that would point
to the IP of a different domain. For example, if
your domain name is example.com, you can register
another domain name, for instance example.net and
have it point to the location of example.com. This
means, every Internet user who goes to
example.net
will land in
example.com.
A domain alias can have:
Its own DNS zone
