Domain Hijacking

Domain hijacking is the process by which a domain name is transferred, modified, or deleted from a registrant’s account without permission. The most common form of domain hijacking involves identity theft. A malicious user may hack into a registrant's account and initiate a transfer in order to sell or misuse the domain name. The more prominent the name, the more likely it is to be a target. Retrieving a stolen name can be difficult or impossible.

Two-Layer Gated Protection

Neustar™ Registry Lock Service is the best way to protect your customers from the loss of their .biz domain names. As a registrar, you already know the risks associated with unprotected domain names, and generally lock the names at the client level by default. This service creates a second layer of protection that goes beyond the security of an account management interface to the server level, protecting your brand and reputation, and that of your customers. By locking names at the server level with the registry, your customers are protected from unwanted modifications, transfers, and deletions.

Partnership

We offer this service as a complement to existing security measures that you may already offer such as private registration. Together we can offer services that make the Internet more secure and more robust for your customers.
