Domain name protection safeguards the most crucial piece of any organization's digital presence: the domain name. Prevent domain hijacking, cyber squatting, and other types of domain compromise. Protect personal details and contact information with domain privacy.
In domain hijacking, an attacker takes control of a domain they do not own, most often via social engineering. Victims can lose control of websites, email, and apps that rely on the domain. They can suffer reputational damage while their customers are placed at risk.
While the ability to transfer a domain between registrars is important, it gives attackers an opportunity to take control of a domain that is not theirs. Transferring a domain back to the original registrar can take weeks or months and may even require legal action.
Public WHOIS records can leave the name and contact information for domain registrants exposed. Spammers and phishing attackers can scrape data from WHOIS records and add it to their targeting lists.
Domain protection services help ensure you keep control of your domain, and that it never falls into the wrong hands.
Registrar domain protection services can work with registries to fully lock domains, preventing ownership transfers without authorization.
Custom domain name protection services allow customers to configure their own manual authentication setup for stronger security than password entry.
Domain privacy services can redact domain registrant contact information from public records.
