WHOIS Privacy Protection

Via the Domain Manager, you will also be able to buy an SSL certificate for your domain name. With an SSL certificate, all the confidential data that your customers submit via your web site (on the order page, via a login form, and so on) will be encrypted and the submitted data will never be jeopardized.

To enable an SSL certificate for your domain name, simply enter the necessary information and then press the Activate button. You can order a standard SSL certificate, which will be valid for just one single host, or a wildcard SSL certificate, which will be enabled for all the hosts under your domain name.

With the aid of the Wildcard DNS feature, you will be able to make all your subdomains direct to the home page of your web site. For example, if a person types any.domain.com or smth.domain.com, they will 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, navigate to the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel and then click the Add Host button located on the right. At the bottom of the list of options, you will notice the Wildcard Domain checkbox.

You can quickly upgrade the domain administration account that you have with omnistar to any of our cloud hosting packages. By doing this, you’ll be able to effortlessly administer both your domain names and sites from one place. To enable all the hosting options in your Control Panel, just go to the Upgrade Plan menu situated on the left and specify the package that you desire to upgrade to.

As soon as we activate the package of your choosing, you’ll get a host of tools, among them a drag & drop File Manager, a hotlink prevention tool, a URL redirection tool, a comprehensive site traffic statistics tool, a 1–click Web Applications Installer with which you’ll be able to set up online journals, social networking websites, photo albums, etc.

With the Registrar Lock option turned on, you can be confident that your domain name is secured from cyber–theft. Any individual who initiates an unsolicited domain name transfer will be automatically stopped and the domain name transfer request – turned down.

In the event that, at a certain point, you choose to transfer your domain to some other domain name registrar, you’ll be able to unlock it with one single click. You can find the locking/unlocking functionality in the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel.

Working with our Domain Manager is rather easy, regardless of whether you have one or multiple domains to manage. Via its easy–to–use interface, you can select many domain names at once and renew them (for one or multiple years), alter their nameservers or modify the WHOIS data pertaining to them instantaneously.

If you also have a hosting account with omnistar, you will be able to manage both multiple domain names and multiple web sites all at once from one and the same location.

The domain name redirection tool that is included in our web hosting Control Panel allows you to forward a domain or a subdomain in your account to some other website of your preference. Simply indicate the host you need to redirect as well as the preferred destination path itself. Our tool will handle the redirection and your domain name will start to point to the preferred location immediately.

The tool features a user–friendly interface, so you will be able to redirect a given domain or subdomain with just a couple of mouse clicks instead of making intricate .htaccess file modifications.
