WHOIS Privacy Protection

Through the Domain Manager, you can order an SSL certificate for your domain name. With an SSL certificate, all the sensitive data that your clients send through your web site (on the order page, through a login form, and so on) will be enciphered and the sent information will never be endangered.

To request an SSL certificate for your domain, just enter the necessary details and then push the Activate button. You can get an ordinary SSL certificate, which will be valid for one single host, or a wildcard SSL certificate, which will be valid for all the hosts under your domain.

If you ever stumble upon any problems while working with our web hosting Control Panel, our company offers a quick way of fixing them – our video tutorials. We’ve assembled an awesome collection of explanatory video clips that encompass everything you can do with our Control Panel – from registering a domain to changing your PHP settings.

Additionally, we have a comprehensive F.A.Q. database, which contains the questions that our customer service staff gets asked the most. What’s more, you can always get in touch with our 24/7 tech support team and have one of our proficient customer service technicians explore your situation.

Inside the Control Panel you will find a point ’n’ click domain management tool featuring heaps of features for managing many domain names at the same time. You’ll be able to effortlessly create sub–domain names, forward sites, update the name servers as well as the WHOIS data associated with a domain, specify custom DNS resource records and more.

Apart from the basic domain controls, in the Domain Manager you’ll also find an option to hide your domain name registration information using the Whois Privacy Protection service and also to protect your Internet shop’s monetary transactions with common or wildcard Secure Sockets Layer certificates.

In case you have only a domain with us, and yet you also desire to migrate your site(s) to our web hosting platform, you can simply upgrade to any of our cloud hosting plans. Simply visit the Upgrade Plan section of your Domain Control Panel and pick the plan that you desire to switch to. We will then enable all the available hosting options for you and you’ll be able to make the most of all the site installation and management tools that are within the Control Panel.

All our web hosting packages offer a drag & drop File Manager, webmail access, the option to set up multiple MySQL databases and to examine exhaustive web traffic statistics, and a lot more, so all you’ll need to take into account is the amount of resources that you need for your websites.

If you are establishing an online brand, you just can’t lean on one domain. To create a strong identity and to stave off any brand theft, you should get several different domain names simultaneously – my–brand.com, my–brand.net, etc. In the web hosting Control Panel you will find a smart solution to that problem – our bulk domain registration tool.

You can register multiple domain names at the same time and even submit different WHOIS information for each one of them.

You will be able to park a registered domain by pointing it to one of Net For Africa’s two domain parking themes – For Sale or Under Construction. The domain parking procedure is very simple and will take effect right away. You can park as many domain names as you like. And in case you need to un–park the domain – you can do it with just one mouse click.

Also, you can tweak our two domain name parking themes using custom images and text so as to make them more unique.

The domain name forwarding tool that’s incorporated into Net For Africa’s web hosting Control Panel allows you to point a domain or a sub–domain in your account to some other website of your choosing. You just have to choose the host you want to forward and the preferred destination path. Our system will handle the redirection and your domain will start pointing to the newly specified location instantly.

This tool has an easy–to–work–with interface, so you will be able to redirect a preferred domain or subdomain with merely a couple of clicks of the mouse instead of making complex .htaccess file modifications.

Through our Domain Manager, you will be able to easily administer a ton of domains from a single location. You will gain access to a wide set of DNS controls and will also be able to make modifications to a lot of domains at once.

What’s more, if you also have a cloud hosting account with us, you will be able to manage both your domain names and your websites from a single location.

If you want to use WordPress MultiSite or some other multisite app, or even if you want to stop people from mistyping the ’www.’ part of your domain, you can make use of the wildcard domain activation options offered by our Domain Manager tool.

With the Wildcard functionality available in the Domain Manager, you’ll be able to redirect all the hosts and sub–domains under a given domain, for instance – forum.domain.com or blog.domain.com, to the main page of your website.
