NameBright Beta

Email Forwarding is not the same as having an email account! When you create email an email forward, all NameBright will do is forward email to that specific address to another email account on the Internet. You cannot send email from an email forward. You cannot have two way communications through an email forward. If you respond to an email, it will come from your actual email address and not the email forward.

To forward all web traffic from this domain to another URL, enter the new URL in the form field above.

• URL re-direct (default, recommended) shows the new address in the browser address bar while URL masking does not.
• A 301 redirect (default, recommended) is permanent, while a 302 is temporary.
• Forward Path Information should be OFF (default) unless your destination site is specifically built to handle that behavior.

Category:
If you created a category-level email address, log in using any domain in the category: Let's say you've created category 'X', which contains 'mydomain.com'. If you created mail@[Category: 'X'] as an account, you could sign in as mail@mydomain.com.

NameBright provides two types of email accounts:

1. Domain Level Email Account - A standard email account.

2. Category Level Email Account [DISABLED - Create a category to use this feature]

Web Server Type:
Your certificate needs to be formatted specifically for your web server type.

Approver Email:
If you choose email approval, you will receive a verification email at this address. You must be able to access this email account or you will be unable to create the certificate.

When you send email from our webmail client with a wildcard email address, we'll default the sender to this value.

For wildcard email addresses: Specify the name to appear before the @ symbol. If you do not specify a default value, we'll use "mail".

For category email addresses: Specify a default domain, otherwise we'll use the first domain we find in the category.

Whois is a public database that stores information about the owners of domain names.

Whois info includes the domain owner’s name, email, phone number, and address. As a registrar, we are required to maintain accurate information on all domains, but domain owners are not required to make that information public. Enter: Privacy Protection.

Privacy Protection ensures your information is not displayed to the public. Using Whois Privacy Protection replaces your private details with NameBright’s information.

Technically, a domain name is an identification string that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control on the Internet.

Practically, you can think of a domain name like an address on the Internet. They provide a friendly, language-based way to point to IP addresses, which are the numeric identifiers assigned to every device connected to the Internet. You see domain names used every day in URLs and email addresses. They are the building blocks for establishing an online presence for your self, business or organization.

A push is similar to a regular domain transfer, except that the domain is moved to another NameBright account.

To push a domain, you'll need to provide the email address and username of the destination NameBright account. The receiving account will have 5 days to accept the push (Transfers > Pushing In > Pending Inbound Push Requests) before it is cancelled.

Electronic mail, commonly known as email or e-mail, is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients

This filter uses the characters in an email to flag non-English emails as "language spam".

Note: Because French, Spanish and Italian are similar alphabetically to English, these languages will not typically be blocked by this filter. Languages such as Mandarin, Arabic and Japanese will be more easily caught.

Extended Validation (EV) SSL helps demonstrate your commitment to security to your customers.

When you have an EV SSL certificate on your website, many modern browsers make the URL bar green and highlight the fact that you have passed extra levels of identification to obtain your certificate.

EV SSL is perfect for companies who plan on storing valuable customer data or processing credit cards through their website. When requesting an EV SSL, the issuing certificate provider will require a registered legal name (an individual will not suffice), registration numbers and address(es) of registering organizations.

You can case your names however you like at NameBright. Your custom casing will appear in NameBright’s interface, Whois records and downloadable reports. Note that browsers do not support custom casing in their address bars.

By default, a domain owner’s information (name, email, phone number and more) is published in a public database called Whois.

Using Whois privacy protection replaces your private details with NameBright’s information. NameBright provides your first year of Whois privacy protection for FREE.

If you have multiple domain registrations that should function the same, create a category to manage your domains in bulk. You can then control DNS, host records and even email on the category level and save a lot of time!
