This innovative web hosting Control Panel is now translated and available in Dutch. Starting today, all clients from the Netherlands will be able to use it in their native language.
The addition of the Dutch language is a result of our commitment to offer excellent customer support. You can change the language of the web hosting control panel through the drop-down menu at the top right of the control panel as well as through the Customize Control Panel section of the My Account drop-down menu at the top of the control panel or through the Customize Control Panel icon at the bottom of the home page of the web hosting control panel.

The hosting Control Panel has been equipped with another tool, designed to give you more control over your domain’s sender policy.
SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework, and is an extension of SMTP that stops e-mail spammers from forging the “From” fields in an e-mail. As SMTP itself does not carry an authenticating mechanism, the SPF extension provides the authentication scheme by specifying which computers are authorized to send email from a specific domain. In order to use SPF, the domain sending e-mails must establish an SPF record that is published in the DNS records.
When the e-mail passes through the DNS server, it is compared to the SPF record for that domain to determine if the sender is indeed authorized to transmit e-mails from that sender’s address. If the e-mail comes from a domain that is not authorized, the DNS server will not forward the e-mail to the expected destination.
Please note that these settings are for advanced users only!
For more detailed information, you may check the Show/Hide Help in the SPF section itself.

You can now perform variuos operations with one or more of your domain names simultaneously. Depending on the current domain status, you can renew registration, edit WHOIS information, edit DNS settings, lock/unlock at the registrar, register name servers and obtain EPP authorization key. Simply use the checkboxes on the left to select domain names and then perform a desired action by clicking on the corresponding button.
The registrar-lock feature is quite useful when you would like to secure your domain name and prevent it from being stolen. To check the current status of the lock, simply click on the icon beside a domain name. You can then lock or unlock it prior to a domain transfer. However, you should always keep your domain names locked.
Most of the top domain registrars now require that each domain name has its own EPP key. The EPP Authorization Key represents a code, which is required when authorizing domain transfers. If you would like to obtain the EPP key for a specific domain name, simply click on the EPP icon. An EPP key is available only for domain names registered with us and with status OK.

We would like to announce that all domain registrations and transfers will be temporary unavailable on Saturday. Our domain registrar is adding a new data center in order to improve the quality of the services.
The migration will cause a short service outage from 01:00 AM GMT to 11:00 AM GMT on Saturday, August 5, so that these changes take effect. For our US customers, the outage will start on Friday, August 4, at 5:00 PM PDT, and will end on Saturday, August 5, at 3:00 AM PDT.
All domain registrations and transfers will be pending until the registration system is back online. Our Sales department will approve your account orders but the domain registrations and transfers will be delayed while the changes are taking effect. Existing domain names will operate without interruptions.
Thank you in advance for your understanding!
