With the WHOIS protection functionality, you can mask your personal info that shows up online upon a WHOIS lookup on your domain. In this way, if someone runs a WHOIS lookup on your domain, they will see fictional details instead of your personal details. With this option turned on, you’ll never need to worry that someone could use your address or telephone number to disturb you.

The WHOIS protection feature is available with most of the Top–Level Domain extensions offered on our site and you can find it in the Domain Manager built into your Control Panel.

Your domain’s WHOIS info contains your official contact details and it has to be kept relevant at all times. If your e–mail address changes, or if you want to transfer the ownership of your domain to someone else, you will need to change your WHOIS info right away.

With the point–and–click Domain Manager interface, you’ll be able to quickly modify the WHOIS information for one or multiple domain names at once! All the modifications that you’ve made will be reflected live straight away! Please bear in mind that not all Top–Level Domain extensions support this option, so first see on our site if this feature is offered for the domain that you want to update.

You can upgrade the domain management account that you have with hostonfire.com to one of our cloud hosting packages. Thus, you’ll be able to effortlessly manage both your domain names and web sites from one single location. To enable all the hosting options in your Control Panel, just visit the Upgrade Plan section situated on the left and specify the package that you desire to move to.

The moment we activate the chosen package, you’ll get a number of tools, among them a drag–and–drop File Manager, a hotlink prevention tool, a domain redirection tool, a comprehensive web traffic stats tool, a 1–click Web Applications Installer using which you can quickly set up personal diaries, community portals, online photo galleries, and so on.

With the Wildcard DNS feature, you’ll be able to make all your active subdomains redirect to the main page of your website. For example, if a person enters smth.domain.com or any.domain.com, they’ll visit http://domain.com/.

You may need the Wildcard DNS option for a multi–site web app like WordPress or Joomla^™ Multi–Site.

To add a wildcard domain, visit the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel and then click on the Add Host button on the right. At the bottom of the options list, you’ll see the Wildcard Domain tickbox.

Inside the Control Panel you’ll find a point & click domain name administration interface offering plenty of controls for administering multiple domain names at a time. You can quickly create subdomains, redirect websites, update the nameservers and the WHOIS information associated with a domain name, create custom DNS records and even more.

Other than the typical domain controls, in the Domain Manager you’ll also find an option to mask your registration info using the Whois Privacy Protection feature as well as to protect your shopping portal’s transactions with normal or wildcard SSL certificates.

Via our Domain Manager, you’ll be able to easily manage tons of domain names from a single location. You’ll acquire access to an enormous array of DNS controls and will be able to make changes to a lot of domains at once.

Also, if you happen to also have a cloud hosting account with hostonfire.com, you will be able to control both your domains and your websites from just one single place.
