In addition to domain registration, we provide the following domain
related services:
Free Domain Management Interface
When you register a domain through Host1 - you retain complete
control over it through our domain management interface. Through
this interface, you can change personal details, owner details,
URL forwarding/parking - and can do so 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.
URL Forwarding - $19/year
URL forwarding lets you create servers (or sub-domains) for your
domain name, and point them to your existing website. For example,
if you registered the domain name mycompany.com, you could create
the servers www.mycompany.com and shopping.mycompany.com and point
them to another URL - say, one hosted with your ISP - or even
a free hosting service such as Geocities.
The advantage of this, is that you can get rid of your long URL
address, such as:
http://www.your-i-s-p.com.au/users/mycompany/
and replace it with your own brand eg., http://www.mycompany.com.au
. URL forwarding can also offer significant savings over traditional
domain hosting. With our unique URL management facility, you can
create up to five servers and forward each of them to a different
URL. The URL forwarding features are accessible from the domain
management area (select "Manage Domain"
in the main menu, left).
DNS Hosting -
$39/year
DNS Hosting is perfect for any domain owner who wants complete
control of their domain. Our fully automated DNS Hosting service
allows you to control your DNS records through our already existing
domain management area.
Using this service you can update / insert / delete Domain Servers
(A Records), Domain Aliases (CNAME Records) and Mail Servers (MX
Records) of your own accord. DNS Hosting is an extremely valuable
tool, and we urge you to take advantage of it.
Email Forwarding $99/year
Our fully automated email forwarding system lets you control your
email by allowing you to select what mailbox email sent to any of
your domains ends up in. It is the most cost effective way to have
email facilities added to your domain, and also the simplest. Just
specify your current email address with your ISP as the destination
mailbox and without you having to make any changes to your email
software, our server will direct all email coming to your new domain
direct to your desktop.
The default email forwarding pack comes with 5 aliases that you
can assign to mailboxes. The 'single' pack collects all email at
your domain and sends it to just one mailbox you specify, but is
only available with id.au domains.
Email Forwarding can be used with any domain and costs just $99
per year.
Web Hosting
Sometimes, you need something more than a URL forwarding service.
For example, you might want secure server access, or maybe you have
a high traffic site and need a more reliable service. You might
need an email solution for your domain - that only hosting can provide.
Perhaps you want to provide WAP services, or simply want greater
control over your site (which is one of the major benefits of domain
hosting). Whatever the reason, Host1 can provide you with a complete
range of domain hosting services, tailor-made to suit your needs.
