Protect your domain and domain management accounts
Domain management accounts are vulnerable to breaches when not secured with two factor authentication, and many DNS zones are not backed up. These oversights can be costly if left unchecked. Domain exploit protection applies cybersecurity principals to your domains. Ensuring you are secured from cyber attacks, account breach, and ensures you can restore your operations in the event of a cyber security incident.
Is your website secure?
When a registry lock is applied, no attributes of your domain are changeable and no transfer or deletion transactions can be processed, with the exception of renewals.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) security systems are rapidly becoming available for many email and other online services, but might not be enabled yet for your domain accounts. The two-factor authentication system works by adding a requirement that a passkey or code be entered before accessing a domain manager’s account.
Registrar lock – Similar to registry lock, registrar lock applies a status code to your domain that prevents any modification of it including transfer or deletion, an important note for domain investors and businesses who secure long term registrations.
HTTPS – You may be familiar with the little green lock seen in most browser’s URL bars. This means you are browsing a site that has an SSL certificate and has enabled HTTPS, which encrypts the data being transferred between your computer and the site. Having HTTPS enabled on your site is critically important if you are looking to generate traffic to your domain – 🌐 Get SSL protection.
SPF Record – If you use your domain to send and receive email, SPF is a helpful tool to prevent spammers from sending other, malicious mail via your domain. SPF uses the DNS to allow you to choose which email servers your emails are authorized to be sent from – 🌐 Get professional email with SPF protection.
