When you register a new domain name, the WHOIS info associated with it, by rule, becomes instantly visible to the general public. In the Domain Manager incorporated into your Control Panel, you’ll find a WHOIS protection functionality that will help you hide your private details by replacing them with our own contact information.

The WHOIS protection option is available with most of the TLD extensions offered on our site: .com, .info, .biz, .net, .org, .co, .co.za, .me, .tv, .pro, .cc.

You’ll be able to quickly upgrade the domain administration account that you have with SluHost to any of our cloud hosting plans. Thus, you’ll be able to easily manage both your domain names and websites from one location. To activate all the web hosting features in your Control Panel, just visit the Upgrade Plan section situated on the left and choose the package that you want to switch to.

The second we activate the package of your preference, you’ll get a set of tools, including a drag–and–drop File Manager, a hotlink prevention tool, a URL forwarding tool, an in–depth web site traffic stats tool, a 1–click Web Applications Installer with which you can easily install personal journals, community–focused websites, image galleries, and so on.

With SluHost, you can easily protect your domain from getting transferred away without your knowledge by "locking" it at your present registrar. This will not affect the way the domain name behaves in any way whatsoever, but will instantly stop all domain name transfer requests.

And if you want to to transfer your domain name, you can simply unlock it. Locking/Unlocking a domain is rather simple and calls for only one single click of the mouse.

With the aid of the Wildcard DNS feature, you will be able to make all your current sub–domains point to the home page of your site. For example, when somebody types in smth.domain.com or any.domain.com, they’ll visit http://domain.com/.

You might need the Wildcard DNS option for a multisite application such as Joomla^™ Multi–Site or WordPress.

To activate a wildcard domain name, proceed to the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel and click on the Add Host button on the right. At the bottom of the list of options, you will notice the Wildcard Domain check box.

The domain forwarding tool that’s included in our web hosting Control Panel permits you to redirect a domain or a subdomain in your account to a different web site of your preference. Just specify the host you intend to to forward and the desired destination path itself. Our tool will handle the redirection process and your domain will start to point to the newly specified location instantaneously.

This tool features an intuitive interface, so you will be able to forward a desired domain or subdomain with merely a few clicks of the mouse instead of making intricate modifications to the .htaccess file.
