Domain contact details are publicly displayed in WHOIS lookup databases and must remain accurate and up to date at all times.

To prevent third parties from viewing your personal or business information, you can enable ID Protection from your Control Panel by going to My Domains -> Registered Domains. Domains that support this feature will display an ID Protect icon next to the domain name. Please note that some domain extensions do not allow WHOIS data to be hidden, so ID Protection may not be available for all domains.

ID Protection—also known as Domain Privacy or WHOIS Privacy Protection—helps reduce spam, prevent identity theft, and protect your contact information from public exposure.

If the contact details for any of your domains are currently hidden by WHOIS Privacy Protection and you need to make them visible, you can easily disable this feature from your client area. To do so, navigate to My Domains > Registered Domains > WHOIS Privacy Protection, then locate the domain you wish to manage and click the ID Protect icon next to it.

A small pop-up window will appear, allowing you to disable privacy protection for that specific domain. Once disabled, your domain’s registrant, administrative, and technical contact information will become publicly visible in the WHOIS database.

Please keep in mind that disabling WHOIS Privacy Protection may expose your contact details to the public, which can result in increased spam emails, phone calls, or unwanted solicitations. In some cases, however, turning off privacy protection may be required for domain transfers, ownership verification, SSL certificate validation, or compliance with certain third-party services.

You can re-enable WHOIS Privacy Protection at any time by following the same steps, provided the service is available for your domain extension.

Our payment processors allow us to take payments for one year at a time only.

You can renew the hosting plan for a few years, but you will have to make a separate payment for each year.

A quicker way would be to fill your client wallet with the needed amount and then use the “Wallet” payment option on the payment page.

This will save you the time and efforts needed to enter your card details a few times in a row. 

A manual payment is required to create a subscription for the next billing period of any domain or hosting plan.

You can view or cancel your subscriptions at any time from your Control Panel. Simply hover over your name in the top-right corner and select Recurring.

If you wish to keep the subscription but change its funding source, go to the same section and click Change. A small pop-up window will appear, allowing you to choose a payment method: PayPal, FirstData (credit and debit cards), or WorldPay (American Express cards).

After proceeding, you will be redirected to the payment page, where you must submit a $0.00 payment. This manual payment acts as an authorization, allowing us to automatically charge your selected payment method when your domain or hosting plan is due for renewal.

To add a TXT record, go to My Domains > DNS Records and click on the “Add А New Record” button, then select the desired domain from the “Hostname” drop-down menu. If the record will be added for a domain, leave the field before the drop-down menu empty. If it is for a subdomain, type in the subdomain name.

Example: to add a TXT record for my-best-domain.com – just select it from the “Hostnames” menu.
To add a TXT record for webmail.my-best-domain.com – type “webmail” and select “my-best-domain.com” from the menu.
Select “TXT” type of the record from the ‘Type’ menu, then type its value in the ‘Value’ field below.

Example: for TXT the value should look like: v=spf1 mx -all

Optionally you can adjust the TTL settings. Click on the “Add a New Record” button to add your new TXT record.

To edit a custom A record, go to My Domains > DNS Records section.

Find the domain/subdomain in the list below and click on it.

Replace the current IP address with the new IP (A record) and click the “Modify” button.

If your hosting package does not include a dedicated IP address, then you can easily obtain one as an upgrade.

In order to do that, go to the Add or Upgrade service(s) section located on the left side of your screen.

Once in there, find the line that says IP Addresses, select the amount of IPs that you wish to purchase, choose a payment method that is most convenient for you and click Continue to place the payment.

The price for every additional service, including the dedicated IP addresses, is calculated on a monthly basis for the remaining months until the expiration of your hosting package. For instance, if your account expires in 3 months’ time, then the price for the additional service will be calculated for three months only. Once your account expires, you will be able to renew the add-ons, along with the hosting plan itself.

Once the payment has been placed and approved by our Sales Department, you will be able to see the ordered IPs in the Account Usage table marked as Available. Also note that a new section Dedicated IPs will appear under the My Domains menu in your Web Hosting Control Panel once you order an IP address.

Ordering an IP address does not automatically assign it to your hosting account. Whenever you wish to put an IP address into use, just go to the My Domains > Dedicated IPs menu and click on Request IP Address. Once you do that, an IP address will be assigned to your account and you will be able to use it as you wish.
Every IP that you assign to your account will be shown in the list right below the Request IP Address button in the Dedicated IPs section. Also, when requested, the IP addresses will be marked as In Use in the Account Usage table on the left.

NOTE: Clicking on the Request IP Address button will only assign one IP address. If you have ordered multiple IP addresses, then you will have to request them one by one.

After the IP address has been purchased and requested, you can assign it to a specific domain/sub-domain name that you are hosting under your account. This is done through the Subdomain Manager (My Domains > Hosted Domains). There you’ll see a button for creating new subdomains and a list of all existing ones.

When creating a new subdomain, you can specify an IP address for it, selecting it from the IP Address drop-down menu. If you wish to assign an IP to an already existing name, simply use the Edit button next to the subdomain in question. Again, to assign an IP to this specific subdomain, just select it from the IP Address drop-down menu and click Add a Host to confirm the change.

Note that every time you change an IP address, the system needs up to 10 minutes to update the new information. There is also an additional propagation time, which could be up to 24 hours.

IMPORTANT: The “www” subdomain is a default subdomain of your domain. Changing the IP address for the “www” subdomain also changes it for the domain name itself. In other words, if you wish to change the IP of my-best-domain.com, then simply change the IP of www.my-best-domain.com.

Here are step-by-step instructions on how to move your emails from the previous hosting provider:

Option 1: Works in all cases (does not require assistance from your current/old provider)

Set up an IMAP account for each of your mailboxes, using a mail client like Outlook, Thunderbird, etc. 

If you are not sure, ask your old hosting provider what the IP of the IMAP mail server you need to connect to is.

Detailed information on how to set up a POP3 account could be found in the email related articles.

Step 1: Download all your emails locally (including all the folders that you might have, like Sent, Draft, etc.) to your computer using the IMAP accounts.

Step 2: Update the domain name servers (if you haven”t done it yet) to the ones listed in the Hosted Domains section of your hosting Control Panel. 

Step 3: Create all the mailboxes that you will be using via the Email Manager section of the Control Panel.

Step 4: You will now have to create IMAP accounts in your mail client for each of the mailboxes. Please note that the previously created IMAP accounts must remain – do not delete them yet!

Step 5: Once you have the two IMAP accounts for each mailbox, just drag and drop all the messages and folders from the IMAP account with the old hosting provider to the new one. This way you will upload all the emails from your computer to our mail server. 

Option 2 – May requires assistance from your current/old provider

Step 1: Check with your old hosting provider if you can have access to the /mail/ directory. There should be folders for each of your email accounts that you have to download to your computer.

Step 2: Create all the mailboxes that you will be using from the Email Manager section of your Control Panel.

Step 3: Upload all mailbox folders to your hosting account with us, using FTP. The folders could be uploaded directly to the /www/ directory.
Each of your mailbox folders (e.g. mail@my-best-domain.com) should contain the following sub-folders: “cur” and “new”.

Step 4: Go to the File Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and navigate to the directory which contains the uploaded folders from the old hosting provider. 

Copy all the files as follows:
– from /www/uploaded-mail/mail@my-best-domain.com/cur/ to /mail/mail@my-best-domain.com/cur/
– from /www/uploaded-mail/mail@my-best-domain.com/new/ to /mail/mail@my-best-domain.com/new/

If you experience problems – check if /mail/mail@my-best-domain.com/ and the subfolders have permissions 755.

Log into the mailbox and see if the messages were copied successfully.

Repeat the steps for each of your mailboxes.

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a way to prevent sender address forgery in emails. SPF will not directly stop SPAM (junk email).

It will give domain owners a way to define which mail sources are legitimate for their domain and which ones are not.

To enable SPF for your domain, go to the Email > SPF Manager section of your Control Panel.

Choose the exact domain name you wish to protect and switch the Status to ON from the drop-down menu next to your domain name.

If you’re using our mail service, all you need to do is check the box labeled “Allow my domain’s MX records only” under the IPv6 field—that’s it!

This means that only the MX records stored for your domain name in the DNS zone will be able to send mail on behalf of your domain name.

If not, here are the required settings for each field:

• Hosts: Fill in a list of all the hosts, which are authorized to send mail on behalf of the chosen domain name, e.g. mail.my-best-domain.com. Separate the hosts with a space or a comma.
• IPv4: Type in the IP address of your SMTP mail server (e.g. mail.my-best-domain.com). Please have in mind that most of the mail servers have more than one IP address and in order to determine all of them, you can use an online tool like the one at https://www.whatsmydns.net/.
• IPv6: Leave this field blank.

Once all the above is done, click on the Edit SPF Protection button. Please note that the SPF Record propagation may take up to 24 hours.

Email signatures provide a great way to personalize and automate certain features of your email correspondence. Using signatures you can enrich each individual message by adding plain text, pictures, links or a business card and make it more appealing to friends and familey, clients, partners and business associates.

In this article, we’ll focus on how to add signatures using the most popular email applications – Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird and Apple Mail, plus the webmail clients your Control Panel is equipped with – RoundCube Webmail.

Microsoft Outlook
Once you have configured your email account successfully in Outlook, please navigate to the Tools > Options section. Locate the tab named Mail Format, click on it and then select Signatures. A new configuration window will appear where you’ll need to click on New and choose a name for your signature (if you have more than one e-mail account set up in Outlook, you will also need to specify the appropriate account for the new signature). Once you have done that, you can customize your signature with different fonts, text size, alignment, as well as pictures or hypertext links. As a final step, please click on OK in both menus and from this point onward, all outgoing e-mails will contain your newly created signature.

Mozilla Thunderbird
In the popular open-source email client Thunderbird, signatures are handled using external files. This means that you need to create a new plain text or HTML file and then “tell” Thunderbird where it is located so that it could be used as a signature in your emails. Once you have created a .txt or an .html file with your signature, open Thunderbrd and go to Tools > Account Settings. In the following menu, please navigate to your email account and select the box that says Attach this signature, click on Choose and locate the signature file using the navigation window. You are also free to add the same file to as many email accounts as you want. Once you are done, click on OK.

Apple Mail
Beside Mozilla Thunderbird, Mac users can also take advantage of the Mail application that comes built-in with every Mac OS X installation. Adding signatures is done by selecting the Mail drop-down menu and clicking on Preferences (shortcut keys – ,). Navigate to the Signatures menu and feel free to create new signatures for different email accounts using the + button.

RoundCube webmail
In RoundCube, signatures are located under the Settings menu. Once there, please select the third tab Identities. By default, you have only one identity for your account, click on it and a new menu will appear with various options like Display Name and Reply To text fields. The last one is Signature where you need to add your personalized text (by selecting the HTML signature box below, a new, extended field will load for you with additional settings). Feel free to click Save as soon as you have completed the changes to save them.
