A little preparation goes a long way

Small changes.
Big consequences.

Keeping a domain secure means paying attention to the everyday details, too. Start with the settings and access your business relies on.

  1. 01 / Transfers

    Keep control of the move.

    Additional safeguards help protect against accidental or unauthorized transfers.

  2. 02 / Settings

    Know when things change.

    Important DNS, nameserver and contact updates deserve your attention.

  3. 03 / Renewals

    Keep the essentials current.

    Monitor renewal notices, payment details and the email address on your account.

  4. 04 / Account access

    Be deliberate about access.

    Use a strong password and two-factor authentication. Review who can sign in.

A record, not an undo button.The log records changes. It does not restore a website, mailbox or DNS zone, or reverse a transfer. Recovery is a separate support process.

Keep an eye on your inbox.

Alerts go to the account email. Keep that address current and monitored so you can respond promptly.

Review sensitive changes.

Approval can require a one-time password or two-factor code. Keep those account protections in place.

Keep the full picture.

Approved changes still leave a record. Use the history to understand what changed, when, and who made it.

Different tools. Different jobs.

Give every layer
the right support.

Domain Protection is one part of keeping your business online. Here’s where it fits alongside privacy and website security.

Your registration

Domain Protection

Additional safeguards for control of the domain itself, with change alerts and activity history.

Compare protection plans

Your contact details

Domain Privacy

Substitute contact details in public registration records, where the extension supports it. Privacy and protection serve different purposes.

Your website

Website security

Tools such as SSL, malware scanning and a firewall address the website and its visitors. A domain lock does not replace them.

Explore website security

Keep these foundations in place

  • Back up separately. Keep copies of your website, mailbox and DNS settings. The activity log is not a backup.
  • Secure your account. Use a unique password, two-factor authentication and a monitored recovery email.
  • Check your extension. Registry restrictions differ. Confirm available features in the storefront or with support.

Before you add it

A few practical
questions.

Clear answers for your next step.

What counts as a high-impact change?
Changes such as nameserver updates, DNS edits, domain forwarding, contact changes, locking or unlocking a domain, privacy settings, and transfers. The activity log records supported actions so you can review what changed.
How is Domain Protection priced?
Protection is priced per domain, per year. The cart shows the price and the features available for your extension before you pay. No hosting plan is required.
What if a billing problem causes my domain to expire?
Ultimate Domain Protection includes a renewal window of up to 90 days for a billing-related expiry on eligible domains, without an extra recovery fee. The normal renewal charge still applies. Availability and restrictions are shown in the storefront.
Can I protect a domain I already own?
Yes. Add Domain Protection from My Products, or call us to discuss the domains you want to protect. Auto-renew is switched on when the plan is added. Available features vary by extension.
