If you manage a shopping portal, which accepts credit card payments, it is extremely important that you offer your visitors a protected payment info submission page.

To set a new record, all you have to do is select a domain and then fill in the desired value in the corresponding resource record field. To update the resource record – click on ’Modify’; to return to the previous value – click ’Revert’.

For instance, if you have a German version of your web site at de.your–site.com, you ought to enter it in the URL field and then select Germany as a preferred target market. In this way, whenever a visitor coming from Germany goes to your site, they’ll see de.your–site.com instead of your–site.com.
