Your domain name isn’t just your online address. It’s your brand, your identity, and your connection to the online world. That’s why WHC is excited to introduce Domain Protection, a new feature adding an extra layer of security to your domains.
Here’s how it works and why it’s worth adding to your online toolkit.
What is Domain Protection?
Domain Protection acts as a security shield for your domain names, helping to prevent unauthorized changes, accidental errors, or malicious threats. With this feature in place, you can feel more confident that your domains are secure and your online presence stays uninterrupted.
Here’s what Domain Protection offers:
- Enhanced Security: Risky actions like DNS updates or domain transfers now require explicit consent from the account owner.
- Ownership Protection: Stop unauthorized changes to your contact details or domain ownership with a secure approval process.
- Accidental Change Protection: Avoid unintended updates to critical settings like nameservers, zones, or email forwarders.
- Domain Privacy: Keep your personal info out of public WHOIS databases to avoid spam calls and junk mail. Exceptions may apply.
Why Domain Protection matters
Your domain name is a reflection of your business and reputation. It’s your connection to customers, and losing control of it can lead to disruptions. Domain Protection combines two-factor authentication and secure approval prompts to safeguard your domains against unwanted changes.
- Prevent Downtime: DNS mistakes can bring operations to a halt. Domain Protection prevents unintended changes to critical DNS domain settings to keep that from happening.
- Guard Against Domain Theft: Protect yourself from unauthorized transfers or malicious attempts to hijack your domain.
- Ensure Your Privacy: Keep your contact details hidden from public view.
- Focus On The Good Stuff: With extra security in place, you can concentrate on growing your online presence without worrying about potential risks.
Affordable security for your Domains
Adding Domain Protection is simple and cost-effective:
- Cost: Just $9.99/year per domain, renewable with your domain.
- Domain Club Perks: Domain Club members get even better rates, with free protection for Gold members!
