Activate Your Domain
Once you've purchased your domain, there are a number of steps to take in order to make your domain visible on the web.
Update your Nameservers
All new domains start with a parking page. To use EnCirca's DNS to point to your hosting:
- Log in to https://manage30.encirca.com
- Update your domain nameservers to standard3.encirca.net and standard4.encirca.net
Add DNS
- Standard DNS - Every domain comes with standard DNS for free. Add and update your TXT, A, CNAME records and more to publish your site and email.
- Secure DNS - EnCirca’s new DNS service is ISO 27001-certified, providing the ‘Carrier-Grade’ technical stability, fast performance and high-availability demanded by security-conscious organizations.
- Secure Forwarding - a way to securely redirect your newly purchased domain name to your current website
Add Hosting and Email
Encirca has a variety of hosting options for you, depending on the space and security needed for your domains.
- Standard shared hosting is available for general domains (.com, .net, .health, etc.) that need basic websites.
- Advanced VPS hosting is a requirement for those domains that need extra security (.bank, .insurance, .creditunion).
- Email Only Hosting is available for customers who want an email-only solution
- Secure Forwarding is a way to securely redirect your newly purchased domain name to your current website
Add an SSL Certificate
We offer a variety of Geotrust and Comodo certificates to protect your domains.
- Standard – Protect your domain with a certificate that says your business information has been independently verified.
- OV – Basic identity verification. Ideal for small business websites and pages accepting sensitive information.
- EV – Your business credentials are validated more extensively, and you get the “green bar” in browsers.
- Wildcard– Protect multiple options of the same base domain (i.e. www.sample.bank and directory.sample.bank)
- SAN – Protect multiple, different domains (i.e. www.sample.bank and sample.com)
