PowWeb’s New Tool: Domain Pointing Manager
November 15th, 2007
PowWeb has just added another powerful tool into its Control Panel, they call it the Domain Pointing Manager. A notice was sent to customers describing how the tool should work:
To make it easier for you to manage your domains, we've launched a Domain Pointing Manager tool. In addition to consolidating several of our existing domain management tools, the new tool also provides increased functionality.
You can now manage the following tools from one central location, instead of having to access them separately:
Add Registered Domain to Account
Domain to Subdirectory Mapping
Domain Redirects/Stealth Redirects
Plus, we've made it easier for you to point each of your domains hosted at PowWeb to one of four locations:
Your home directory (the main directory of your hosting account)
A subdirectory of your site (i.e., www.yourdomain.com/subdirectory)
Another URL (different from your hosting account)
"Domain parking" (resolve to a placeholder while you develop your site)
We've also added domain-pointing icons to DomainCentral, so you can see at a glance where each of your domains is pointing.
One thing that was made clear by this latest development, PowWeb’s paid service, the Map to Subdirectory Tool, can already be rendered as useless. This means that we no longer have to purchase (or renew) this mapping tool since the new Domain Pointing tool technically does the same thing as what this mapping tool does.
Other exciting features of this new tool is, it can do a stealth redirect to an external URL. It can also enable a Domain park system which was previously not available on PowWeb’s control panel.
This new tool will surely make PowWeb one of the best hosting company on the face of the Earth. Thank you, PowWeb!
