Managing your domain registrations and renewals

From SuperbHosting.net Support Wiki

Please login to myCP® at http://mycp.superb.net then click on Manage Domains.

For those that have their domain name(s) registered with Superb Registrar, this is where you can manage your domains. Within the Domain Manager, there are two main sections: on the right is a list of domains with options for each, and on the left is a menu panel.

List of domains

The list of domains is an overview with the most important information and common functions available. For each domain you have registered with Superb Registar, you can see its Add Date, Expiry Date, and WHOIS record (see below). Additionally you may renew the domain and turn on ID Protect for the domain (see below).

By clicking on the domain name itself, you are taken to the complete menu for each domain. Settings include:

• WHOIS record - WHOIS records are mandatory for every domain according to ICANN regulations. The WhoIs record shows the name and address of the domain name registrant.
• Auto Renew - Use this if you do not wish to manually renew your domain registration each year.
• Expire notify - Here you can disable domain expiry warning emails. The default is enabled.

• Add ID Protect - As your WhoIs record is accessible by the public, anyone at anytime can learn your name and address. You can protect your private WhoIs information by switching your "public" domain registration to a "private" unlisted registration through SuperbRegistrar's ID Protect. The price for ID Protect is $10/year per domain.

• Lock / Unlock domain - Locked domains cannot be transferred to another registrar. Conversely, if you need to transfer your domain to a different registrar, this is where you can unlock it.

• Parking / Redirection Page - If your domain is registered but you are not hosting a site yet, you can use this to set up a parking page (a placeholder) or a redirection page (a page which redirects to another domain).

• IP/MX/Forwarding/SubDomains - Advanced users wishing to manually setup their DNS records for their domain using Superb Registrar's name servers may do so here. Basic help information on DNS record types are included within this section.

• Name Servers - Choose Superb Internet's name servers if hosting your website with Superb, choose Superb Registrar's name servers if you wish to manually edit your name server records, or manually specify third-party name servers to use if hosting elsewhere (the hosts will tell you what name servers to specify here).

• Contact information - There are several different contacts which must be specified, as is the standard with domain name registration.
  
  

Left menu panel

The left menu panel contains many functions related to domain registration. Here, for example, you can view our domain registration prices or a list of your domains which are soon to expire, or you can register new domains. Help for these functions are provided when you click on the link.

• Register Domain - Domain registration and web hosting are two separate services. If you need to register your domain, or an additional domain, you can do so at Superb Registrar by following this link.
  
  
• Registration Support - Clicking on the Registration Support link brings you into the online myCP® Support System for your account with Superb Registrar. This applies to users that have their domain name registered with Superb Registrar. Please use this Registration Support link for all your domain support requests. The ticket screen also shows you any known network or server issues.
