What are Value Added Services and how can I use them?

In this article:

Value Added Services are a number of complimentary options we provide to you for having your domain registered and/or hosted with us.
Please note: To take advantage of these services, your domain will need to be pointed to our name servers.

To add a Value-added service for your domain:

1. Once logged into your account, click on the Domains navigation tab and then select the '+' symbol to the left of the domain you wish to update.  2 panels will load with current domain settings/options.

2. On the right hand panel, click the Edit button to the right of Web Service. Optionally, if you are looking to set multiple domains with the same value added service, click the (additional domains...) link and highlight the desired domains. Once highlighted, move them to the Selected domains box to the right, by clicking the right move arrow.

3. Select the dial to the left of the desired value-added service, and then insert the additional information needed, if applicable.
4. Click Preview Changes on the lower right, and confirm the change on the next screen.

Descriptions of our Value Added Services include:

• Blank Page: With this option selected for your domain, when visitors view your site, they will see a blank sparkling white page.

• Domain Reserved Page: If you are reserving your domain name or simply need a placeholder while your website is being built, you can select this option.

• Under Construction Page: If you are building your website but it is not ready to be published online, place this page to let your customers know you are working on your site.

• Domain For Sale Page: With this option, when your domain is accessed, individuals will have the ability to send a domain purchase inquiry through the page. The email will be forwarded to the email address stored on file in your account.

• One-Page Website: We provide an easy-to-use builder for a simple one-page site. You can also insert your own HTML in the text field provided, but please note that it is limited to 25 KB.

• URL Redirect: When someone types in your domain name, they will be forwarded to an outside website of your choice, and they will see that site's URL in their web browser.

• Frame Forward: When someone types in "http://yourdomain.com" they will be forwarded to an outside destination URL of your choice but they will still see your domain name in the browser window. You can include a description, keywords, and title with this option, and they are important to include in the event a search engine "spider" or "bot" comes to the site, it will recognize those categories which will help it figure out what the site is for.

• Simple DNS entry: This option allows you to easily forward your domain to an IP address. This simply creates "A" records for your domain automatically.
