Domain Name Pricing

If you’ve got a standalone domain name with us, and yet you also want to take advantage of our cloud hosting offers, you’ll be able to do that at any moment with just several simple clicks of the mouse. You will keep your Control Panel and will also be able to administer your domains, sites and billing transactions from one single place.

Additionally, you will be able to make use of all the bonuses associated with our cloud hosting packages, including a cost–free domain registration option.

In the Control Panel there is a point & click domain management interface with a ton of features for administering multiple domains at a time. You’ll be able to quickly create sub–domain names, redirect sites, alter the nameservers and the WHOIS details pertaining to a domain name, specify custom DNS entries plus much more.

In addition to the basic domain controls, in the Domain Manager you’ll also find an option to mask your registration information using the WHOIS protection service as well as to secure your shopping portal’s financial transactions with ordinary or wildcard SSLs.

With the Wildcard DNS feature, you can make all your current subdomains redirect to the main page of your website. For instance, when a person types smth.domain.com or any.domain.com, they’ll visit http://domain.com/.

You may need the Wildcard DNS option for a multi–site web application like WordPress or Joomla^™ Multi–Site.

To add a wildcard domain, go to the Domain Manager section of your Control Panel and click on the Add Host button located on the right. At the bottom of the options list, you will see the Wildcard Domain tick box.

Registering a number of domain names simultaneously can often be a difficult mission. Because of this, Astral Hosting offers a bulk domain registration tool built into our web hosting Control Panel. It allows you to quickly register plenty of domain names at once.

You will be able to enable ID protection, to modify your WHOIS information, to choose whether to host the domain in question under your web hosting account or not.

In each section of Astral Hosting’s web hosting Control Panel you can find a large collection of informative how–to video clips. They offer solutions to all commonly occurring problems and will show you the right way to perform a certain action.

Aside from that, you can examine our F.A.Q. library, which comprises comprehensive how–to guides and tutorials. Alternatively, you can get in touch with our 24/7 tech support staff – the average ticket response time is twenty minutes.

Your domain goes hand in hand with the registrant, technical and administrative contact info that you supply during the registration process. Since this information has to be correct and up–to–the–minute, you need to have an option to change it, when needed.

This can be accomplished through the Domain Manager in your Control Panel. Just choose the domain that you’d like to edit the registration information for and push the Edit WHOIS button. All the modifications that you make will be reflected online instantly! You will be able to also change the WHOIS info for numerous domain names at the same time.

From the Domain Manager, you will also be able to purchase an SSL certificate for your domain name. With an SSL certificate, all the sensitive information that your clients send through your site (via the order form, through a login form, etc.) will be enciphered and the sent information will never be jeopardized.

To activate an SSL certificate for your domain name, simply fill in the necessary details and then hit the Activate button. You can order a conventional SSL certificate, which will be valid for only one single host, or a wildcard SSL certificate, which will be enabled for all the hosts under your domain name.

Via the Custom DNS Records section of our Domain Manager, you can modify all the DNS records associated with your domain name with merely one click! All important types of DNS records are supported, including A, AAAA, MX, NS, CNAME, SRV and TXT records. All you have to do is specify the new value for the DNS resource record that you want to set or modify, click the action button and allow some time for the new DNS resource record to be propagated all over the world. Another option is to convert a DNS resource record to its former state.

Additionally, if you desire to make your site’s nameservers resemble your domain, you can do that with merely a single click via the Domain Manager.

In our Domain Manager you can find a simple tool, which will enable you to filter your website traffic based upon the visitors’ whereabouts. With our GeoIP location tool, you can easily set up location–based redirects and send your visitors to specific areas of your web site. For example, you can direct the US traffic to your main page, and the traffic coming from Spain to a subdomain – es.your–website.com, for example.

With this simple tool, you will no longer have to type dozens of lines of code in your .htaccess file. Everything is handled by the tool itself.
