Each domain hosted in your WebHost4Life account comes with two default MX records, which point to our mail servers. MX records (Mail Exchange records) determine where your domain’s email is delivered, so it’s important to set them correctly for your email to function properly.

If you have your own mail server or want to use a third-party email service, you will need to update your domain’s MX records to point to the external server’s MX records. This ensures that emails sent to your domain are correctly delivered to the mail service you use.

Steps to Edit MX Records in WebHost4Life:

1. Log in to your WebHost4Life account.
2. Go to My Domains > DNS Records.
3. Find the domain you want to update and click on it to expand its details.
4. Replace the current mx1 and mx2 records with the new MX records provided by your email service.
   • The highest priority is 1 and the lowest priority is 100.
5. When ready, click the Modify button to save your changes.

Tips:

• Always verify the MX records provided by your email provider. Incorrect MX records can cause email delivery issues.
• If you’re switching from WebHost4Life’s mail servers to a third-party service, you may want to keep a backup of the original MX records.
• Changes to MX records may take up to 24 hours to propagate across the internet.

By following these steps, you can manage your domain’s email routing efficiently while using WebHost4Life’s reliable hosting platform.

Most domain name types (TLDs) that we register offer the option to change these contact details.

You can do that from the Registered Domains section (My Domains > Registered Domains) of your Control Panel.

OPTION 1: 

In the table of registered domains, search for the ‘eye’ icon ( ) in the Edit DNS/Whois column pertaining to the domain the Whois data of which you want to edit.

Click on the icon and you will be forwarded to a form where you can input new contact information for each section – registrant, billing, administrative and technical.

Once you fill out the registrant section, and if you want to use the same contact information for all the other sections, there is an option to copy the same information in the other sections as well.

As soon as you are ready with all the changes in all the sections of the WHOIS record, simply press the Save Information button at the bottom of the page and that will update the WHOIS record for you.

You should see a message The details have been modified successfully! to confirm that.

Please have in mind that WHOIS changes may require up to 24 hours to update worldwide.

OPTION 2: 

Tick the checkbox next to the domain that you want to edit, then click on the “Change WHOIS” button that is located just above the domains.

Then follow the edit-Whois steps as described in Option 1 above:

Through this option, you can also edit the Whois data of multiple domains at a time.

NOTE: Keep in mind that the contact details of some TLDs (.co.uk, .org.uk, .me.uk, .ca, .eu, .be, .at). cannot be changed.

Others require a manual change, so if you encounter any error message, you can contact us by opening a ticket from Help Center -> Open Support Ticket in the top-right corner of your Control Panel or the button below.

Please be informed that the WHOIS record is public and anyone on the web can look up the WHOIS record of any domain name that is currently registered. This exposes your personal contact details, incl. name, address, etc. to the public. If you want to purchase the WHOIS ID protection service that helps hide your personal data and protect it from malicious use such as spam emails and telemarketing, please refer to the What is Domain Name WHOIS Privacy Protection article.

Have in mind that providing false contact information in the WHOIS record is considered illegal and may result in cancellation of the domain registration. Therefore that is not an alternative to the WHOIS ID protection service.

The WHOIS privacy protection is an add-on service available for some domain TLDs (.com, .net, .biz, .org, .info, .we.bs, .me, .tv, .cc, .asia). Others such as .US, .UK, .COM.AU, do not support this feature on the top-level.

When you register a domain name you provide your personal and/or business contact information, incl. name, address, phone number etc.

Each domain that is successfully registered has the so-called WHOIS record. The WHOIS record is comprised of information about the domain name itself – when it was registered, when it expires, what the current name servers are and so on, and it also displays the registrant, administrative, technical and billing contact information that has been provided for the domain name.

This WHOIS record is public and anyone on the web can check the WHOIS data of any domain name that is currently registered. Because the WHOIS service is available to the public, it exposes your contact details to everyone.

The WHOIS privacy protection service helps conceal your personal data and protect it from malicious use such as spam emails and telemarketing.

When you purchase the WHOIS privacy protection service for a particular domain name, the WHOIS record of your domain name will display our company contact information instead of your personal information.

Although your data in the public WHOIS record is replaced by ours, you still remain the rightful owner of your domain – the WHOIS privacy protection service does not in any way affect the actual ownership of the domain.

You can order WHOIS privacy protection, for any domain name from the list of the supported TLDs that you have registered with us using the Domain Manager section (My Domains > Registered Domains tab) of your Control Panel.

In the table of domains, just click on the icon in the Whois Privacy Protection column pertaining to the domain you want to enable Whois provacy for as shown on the image below:

Once you click on that icon a small pop-up window will come up with information about the Whois Privacy Protection service, the price to enable that service, as well as the available payment options.

Once you select the payment method you want to use to submit the payment, you must click on the Continue button below and that will take you to the payment page where you have to fill out your payment information.

Have in mind that providing false contact information in the WHOIS record is considered illegal and may result in cancellation of the domain registration. Therefore that is not considered an alternative to the WHOIS ID protection service.
