How do I use free domain locking?

Although we already securely manage domain names, this free option allows you to lock your domain at the Registry level. When you lock your domain, no one can transfer your domain or make changes to the nameservers or contact information for your domain.

What is ConsoliDate?

ConsoliDate allows you to select the date you would like all of your .com and .net domain names to renew. Renewal dates no longer have to be tied strictly to your initial registration date. ConsoliDate will make it easier to keep up with renewal dates, so they won’t be scattered across the calendar.
  

What is a Domain Group?

Domain Groups make managing domain names easier. They allow you to group together multiple domain names so that you can perform updates on multiple domains at the same time. You can create as many domain groups as you like, and add any number of domain names to a single group. You can even include a single domain in more than one group.
  

What is AccountExecs?

An AccountExec has an account separate from your own. You can grant a user certain permissions to that account for managing a group of domains. For example, you can make a staff member an AccountExec so that the staff member can help you manage domain names. You can give multiple AccountExecs access to a single group, and you can give an AccountExec access to multiple groups.
  

What is domain name forwarding?

Forwarding a domain name enables you to direct incoming traffic from a parked domain to an already existing Web site. When someone attempts to access your domain, their Web browser automatically redirects them to your main Web site.

Forwarding with Masking prevents visitors from knowing that they have been redirected by making sure that your domain name remains in their Web browser's address bar. You can also add a title and meta tags to your masked domain. Title and meta tag information is important to a Web site’s search engine ranking, but it does not change the look of your Web site.
  

What is masking?

Masking works with domain name forwarding. Forwarding redirects all Web traffic for a domain to a specific URL. When someone types your domain name into a browser, our system will automatically forward or redirect them to whatever URL you choose.

Canceling a Domain Name

Canceling a domain does not entitle you to a refund of any part of your registration fee. Once you have canceled a domain it is no longer registered to you. It will be listed as available for others to register. This is a permanent action. You may re-register this domain at a later time and for additional registration fees.
