Bhutan Web Solutions

New options are available in the Subdomain Manager in the Bhutan Web Hosting Control panel. Until now, one of the features in this section was allowing to set up the ERROR 404 page for each virtual host (domain or subdomain) and the options were: to use the system Apache error page, or to set a website URL that will open in case someone mistypes the host URL.

Now, in the Subdomain Manager, besides the ERROR 404 page, there are options to manage also 400, 401 and 403 error pages. Thus you will have control on the error pages that appear when there are problems with your hosts or with the server.

Please note that the new feature is available for the hosting accounts located on some servers only for now. If you have any questions or meet any difficulties while setting up the error pages, feel free to send your inquiry in a trouble ticket that can be opened from the Help Center section of the Bhutan Web Hosting Control panel.

New top-level-domains (TLD) have been made available for registration and transfer through the Domain Manager of your Control panel at Bhutan Web Hosting. More TLDs give you a chance to get a domain name that will fit better to the purpose and the target-group of your website.

The new TLDs that you can order now are:
.cc .tv .name .cn .com.cn .net.cn .org.cn .tw .com.tw .idv.tw .org.tw

The TLDs that we have been offering for registration so far are:
.com .net .org .biz .us .info

To see the new TLDs, select the Register / Transfer tab in your Domain Manager of Bhutan Web Hosting Control Panel, or click the Register / Transfer button in the Upgrades menu.

In the Register / Transfer page you can select the box under the domain search bar for the TLDs that you would like to be included in the search. Please note that the pricing varies for the various TLDs and you can check it in the table that is on the right hand-side in the same page.

In order to see what the features of the TLDs are, (which can have ID Protect, which you can lock, etc.) just click the TLD Info link and all the information will be displayed in a table.

NOTE: If you can’t find those TLDs in the Domain Manager of your web hosting Control panel, please submit a trouble ticket to our support in order to receive instructions on how to order such domain names.

The Change Plan section in the Bhutan Web Hosting Control panel has been re-designed. We have applied a shopping-cart interface in order to present the web hosting plans in a more informative way and let you choose easily the plan that you need.

The link to the Change Plan section is located in the Upgrades menu, on the left hand-side of your web Control panel. The purpose of this section is to allow you to upgrade your current hosting plan to a more resourceful one.

If you compare the new design with the old one, you will find out that it is only the purpose of this section that is still the same. The new shopping-cart interface allows you to change your plan in 2 steps, providing with complete information for the hosting plan features. In the section for each plan, there is a short description of the hosting plan features and the price of the upgrade. To get more detailed information for the hosting plans you must click on the name of the hosting plan.

Today we are launching a new service that concerns the security of your domain names. The service is called ID Protect (also known as WHOIS / ID Protect) and is purposed to protect your personal or business information displayed in the WHOIS from spammers, fraudsters and solicitors who use the WHOIS data (e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc.) illegally. In other words, once the service is activated, the registrar will display fictitious details in the WHOIS, so that the real information will stay hidden, but all the e-mails that are sent to the fictitious e-mail address will be filtered and forwarded to the actual e-mail address set in the WHOIS.

The ID Protect service can be ordered only for domain names registered with Bhutan Web Hosting, and has its own expiration date that is not related to the expiration date of the domain name. Another important thing is that this service is available for the .com / .net / .org / .biz / .info TLDs, but is not supported by country domain names like the .us TLD.

Let’s see how to activate WHOIS protection for your domains.

ID Protect for new domain(s)

Just start the domain registration process from the Register / Transfer tab in the Domain Manager of the Bhutan Web Hosting control panel. At the top of the page, where you must setup the WHOIS information and order the service, you will see the domain name(s) that you have selected with the option to choose whether you want to activate ID Protect service and for how many years. When a domain is registered and the ID Protect service is activated, a green-shield-icon will be displayed in the Domain Manager. A single click on the icon will allow you to enable or disable the service.

ID Protect for already registered domain(s)

There are three ways to order ID Protect for domain(s) that have been registered with Bhutan Web Hosting.

The easiest way is to get into the Domain Manager and there click the Add link in the ID Protect column for the domain that you want to protect.

The other way is to use the Quick Controls option in the upper-left corner of the web Control panel. In the panel with the information for the domain that you have selected, you will find a WHOIS section with an Order ID Protect link. If you have activated the service for that domain, in place of this link there will be a Manage ID Protect link that will allow you to enable or disable the protection.

The third way to order the ID Protect service is to choose the Edit WHOIS option in the Domain Manager and to choose the green Order WHOIS / ID Protection link that is available there.

Management of ID Protect service

ID Protect service that is already active can be enabled or disabled at any time. This can be done using the Manage ID Protect link located in the Quick Controls panel of the domain names, or with a single click on the green shield for the selected domain name in the Domain Manager. It is recommendable that you disable the ID Protect service, when you are attempting to transfer a domain name away to another registrar, in order to approve the transfer request that is usually sent via e-mail.
