At Net2Secure, your Domains Dashboard serves as the central command center for managing all your domain names, whether registered directly through Net2Secure or connected from another provider. With a user-friendly interface and robust features, our dashboard helps small business owners and administrators in India manage their domains with ease and confidence.

Whether you want to connect a domain to your website, enable SSL, set up DNS records, or transfer a domain, the Net2Secure Domains Dashboard gives you full control from one convenient location.

Accessing the Domains Dashboard

To get started, log in to your Net2Secure Control Panel, then navigate to the Domains section. Here, you'll find a list of all your active, pending, or connected domains in a clear and sortable table format. For each domain, you’ll see:

• Domain name

• Status (active, pending, expiring, or transferred)

• Connected site (if applicable)

• SSL status

• Auto-renewal setting

• Quick action options (edit DNS, transfer, renew, etc.)
  
  

This centralised dashboard allows you to monitor and manage your entire domain portfolio in one place.

Domain Status Overview

Each domain listed in the dashboard will show its current status:

• Active: Domain is registered and fully functional.

• Pending: Registration or changes (e.g., DNS updates) are being processed.

• Expiring: The domain is close to its renewal date action required.

• Transferred: The domain has been moved to or from another registrar.
  
  

Net2Secure will notify you via email if any domain is nearing expiration or requires your attention.

Connecting a Domain to Your Net2Secure Website

To point your domain to a website hosted with Net2Secure:

1. Locate your domain in the dashboard.

2. Click “Link Site” or “Connect to Hosting”.

3. Select the correct hosting package or website.

4. Net2Secure will automatically configure the DNS settings.
   
   

For domains registered with external providers, you can manually update your DNS records using your provider’s DNS management panel. Use the A or CNAME records provided by Net2Secure.

DNS Settings and Advanced Controls

With Net2Secure’s built-in DNS editor, you can easily manage all DNS records for your domain:

• A Records (IPv4 address)

• CNAME Records (aliases)

• MX Records (email routing)

• TXT Records (verification and SPF/DKIM for email)

• SRV Records (for VoIP or instant messaging services)
  
  

To edit your DNS:

1. Click “Manage DNS” next to your domain.

2. Add or modify your records as needed.

3. Changes typically propagate within a few minutes to 24 hours.
   
   

Advanced users can also enable DNSSEC for supported TLDs to add an extra layer of security.

Enabling SSL Certificates

Every domain connected to a Net2Secure-hosted website is eligible for a free SSL certificate. To enable SSL:

1. Click the “SSL Status” toggle next to the domain.

2. Choose “Enable SSL”.

3. The SSL certificate will be issued automatically.
   
   

Once active, your website will be accessible via HTTPS, improving both user trust and SEO rankings.

Auto-Renewal Settings

Avoid the risk of losing your domain by enabling auto-renewal:

• In the dashboard, locate the Auto-Renew column.

• Toggle the switch to ON.

• Your domain will be renewed automatically before its expiration date.
  
  

You’ll also receive email reminders 30 and 7 days before the domain expires, even if auto-renew is active.

Domain Privacy and WHOIS Protection

To protect your personal or business information, Net2Secure offers free WHOIS privacy protection (available for most domain extensions):

1. Select “Edit WHOIS” from your domain options.

2. Toggle Privacy Protection ON.

3. Your contact information will be hidden from public domain registries.
   
   

This feature helps reduce spam and protects your privacy online.

Setting Up Domain Forwarding

If you want to redirect your domain to another URL:

1. Click “Manage Forwarding”.

2. Enter the destination URL (must include https://).

3. Choose redirect type:

• 301 (permanent)

• 302 (temporary)
  
  

4. Click Save. Changes typically apply within a few minutes.
   
   

Forwarding is ideal for brand protection, redirecting legacy URLs, or pointing alternate TLDs to your primary website.

Transferring Domains

Transfer to Net2Secure

1. Go to “Transfer Domain In”.

2. Enter your domain name and EPP code (from your current registrar).

3. Verify via email and approve the transfer.
   
   

The process usually takes 5–7 business days.

Transfer from Net2Secure

1. Click “Transfer Out” on the domain.

2. Unlock the domain and retrieve the EPP code.

3. Initiate the transfer from your new registrar.
   
   

Note: Domains must be at least 60 days old and not recently modified to be eligible for transfer.
