Hosted.com has announced its professional-grade, domain management control panel, designed to offer a cohesive solution for domain names registered through the company. The panel integrates multiple essential features, including DNS editing, email setup, redirect configuration, subdomains and add-on domains management, auto-renewals, and DNSSEC, into a streamlined, web-based dashboard.
The platform is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, allowing customers to manage their domains in one convenient location. The interface operates entirely via a web browser, eliminating the need for any additional software installation.
While focusing on domain management essentials, Hosted.com has also ensured that its control panel’s tools and features complement their broader website hosting infrastructure, including website creation. This helps further optimize performance and integrations without requiring expert knowledge and assisting in reducing setup errors.
Domain Management Features
The control panel is located within the Hosted.com Client Portal, which provides a central overview of all active domain registrations. Customers can review domain names, expiration dates, DNS settings, email configurations, and security tools all in one dashboard. The interface utilizes clear visual indicators, such as renewal alerts, DNS issues, or security threats.
Auto-Renewals
An essential preventive measure against domain expiration is the domain auto-renewal functionality, that ensures continuous ownership. Users can enable renewal for specific or multiple domain names. Notifications provide transparency on upcoming charges and renewal confirmations, helping clients avoid service loss due to domain expirations. This can be especially helpful when it comes to popular TLDs like .com, where availability can be limited.
Add-on Domains
The Hosted.com control panel allows users to register and manage multiple add-on domains under one primary account. This feature benefits businesses that need separate domain names for individual sites, yet all can be managed centrally without the need for multiple logins or accounts.
Subdomains
In addition to add-on domains, the platform fully supports the creation of subdomains. For example, subdomains such as blog.domain.com or shop.domain.com, can be easily added through a single interface. This capability supports better content segmentation while maintaining consistent branding.
Email Address Management
Hosted.com offers integrated email creation and admin tools. Customers can create custom email addresses tied to their domain names, such as [email protected] and [email protected], enhancing professionalism and consistency in communication. The interface enables easy setup of autoresponders, forwarding, and alias options for flexible email handling.
Redirect Management
The panel supports permanent (301) and temporary (302) redirects at the domain or page level. Customers can re-route traffic from domains that are being rebranded with a new extension such as .com, marketing campaign-specific URLs, or old web addresses, to their current pages. This ensures search engine rankings are maintained and prevents loss of traffic.
DNS Record Editing
Customers can view and edit standard DNS record types (A, CNAME, MX, etc.) without needing to switch to a different platform. The immediate implementation of changes helps integrations with content delivery networks, verification systems, and other web services. Real-time editing and propagation monitoring can minimize delays and enhance uptime.
Domain Lock
The Locking feature protects domains from unauthorized transfers by adding an extra layer of security. This helps maintain domain ownership and reduces the risk of accidental or malicious changes.
DNSSEC Security
When it comes to domain security, the tool offers DNSSEC activation, a feature that digitally signs DNS data to verify responses and prevent redirection or spoofing attacks. By enabling DNSSEC, users protect their domains and visitors from cyber threats while adhering to best practices for data security and maintaining visitor trust.
Hosted.com’s focus on simplifying domain registration and management addresses the needs of businesses and individuals who require a holistic solution. The control panel complements this stability with tools designed to maintain visibility, security, and professionalism.
