WinHost provides domain pointer services to point additional domain names to your site.
Important notes regarding domain pointers:
- Domain pointer service will point additional domain name(s) to the root of your primary hosted domain.
- Domain pointers do not include email accounts, however email aliases for domain pointers are available. Please refer to this Knowledge Base article.
- We do not point additional domains to subdirectories. To point domain pointers to subdirectories you will need to use a redirect script. Review this Knowledge Base article for an example of redirect code.
- The domain pointer order is not a domain registration system. Domain registration is a separate charge. Please refer to this Knowledge Base article for specific details on our Domain Name Registration policy.
- You are responsible for updating the name servers for any domain name that you submit as a domain pointer. You can find instructions for updating name servers for some popular registrars here. The name server settings for hosting your domain with WinHost are:
ns1.winhost.com
ns2.winhost.com
ns3.winhost.com
To enable the domain pointer service click on the
Sites tab in your hosting control panel. Click on the
Manage link for the specific site. Inside the
Site Info Manager click the
Domain Pointer button and enter the domain name you are adding as a domain pointer. You will have the option to enable email aliases for the domain on this page as well.
