WHOIS Privacy Protection

If you run a shopping portal, which accepts payments, it is crucial that you offer your site visitors a reliable payment information submission area. And this is precisely where SSL certificates can come in real handy – they encrypt the connection between your web site and the client. Typically, you need to go to a 3rd–party vendor to obtain an SSL certificate. This isn’t the situation with gate-hosting.

With us, you’ll be able to request a traditional SSL certificate or even a wildcard SSL certificate directly from your Control Panel.

Using the GeoIP redirection tool built into the Domain Manager, you will be able to point a particular language version of your site to a particular geographic region. It sports a simple point & click interface where you don’t need to write any code. You simply need to fill in the whereabouts of your prospective website visitors and the URL that you want to open for those visitors.

For example, if you have a German version of your website at de.your–site.com, you have to type it in the URL field and then choose Germany as a destination market. Thus, when a visitor coming from Germany goes to your web site, they will see de.your–site.com rather than your–site.com.

When a person or an organization registers a domain, they are asked to give complete and relevant WHOIS info. As this info should be kept relevant constantly, it may often need to be edited.

The changes will be instantaneously reflected online. You can update the WHOIS details for one or several domain names at a time.
