Domain protection services
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.
Protect your domain name from attacks like these
Domain hijacking
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.
Unauthorized domain transfers
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.
Contact scraping and spam
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.
