Security in Domain Registration - what's all the hype about?
When it comes to registering your domain name and establishing
your presence online, there are fundamental aspects that need to
be taken into consideration in order to prevent unnecessary
hurdles from affecting both you and your customers.
Whether you are a small or large company, or simply interested
in setting up your own personal website, what you need are
effective solutions and the correct business tools at a
respectable price to offer you peace of mind. I would strongly
recommend not looking for cheap imitations of registrars
offering you the best quality at ridiculously cheap prices as
they don't tend to go hand in hand. You should be looking for a
registrar that will provide you a service that offers guaranteed
performance, support, reliability, user-friendliness and, above
all, SECURITY.
"But surely security is offered by all, right?", I hear you ask.
Although this statement is generally correct, this security
aspect is often neglected by some registrars, even the top dogs
in the business. Below are some key areas that you should
consider regarding registration security, and will hopefully
explain - without all the technical jargon - and assist you in
deciding which registrar company suits your needs and
expectations.
Why is security so important? Security issues adopted by the
principal registration companies guarantee that your domain is
safeguarded against domain highjackers or others who want to
transfer your domain(s) to another registrar without your
specific authorization. The knock-on effects will not only imply
loosing your domain name but will also result in a costly
downtime of yours and your customers
