Domain Services
In addition to domain registration, we provide the following domain
related services:
URL
Forwarding
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/users/mycompany/
and replace it with your own brand eg., http://www.mycompany.com 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
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
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 £69
per year.
Anti Spam
Our highly effective SPAM filtering frees up your mail box for
important personal or business mail. This saves time, money and
frustration from dealing with the endless stream of junk that floods
your mail box. Through our domain management interface you designate
which email addresses are filtered and where to send the junk mail.
The DC Web Hosting SPAM filter success rate for identifying junk is around
90-99% which is staggeringly good.
The benefits flowing from SPAM filter can not be overrated. During
testing one satisfied customer said SPAM filtering "lifted a weight
from their shoulders" everytime they read their email.
Anti Virus
Viruses are not only annoying, they are also dangerous and could
cost your business big dollars in lost documents, lost time, lost
productivity, lost intelectual productivity and the drama of disinfecting
your computer. Through our domain 'manage' interface in the top
bar you can activate virus filtering on specified addresses.
Our server is updated every half hour with the latest virus definitions
so you can stay one step ahead of trouble. If you dont already have
Virus filtering, NOW is the time to act!
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, DC Web Hosting can provide you with a complete
range of domain hosting services, tailor-made to suit your needs.
