Secure Domain Name Registration
This article will show you step by step how to register your first web domain and save money while protecting the loss of your business thru domain hijacking.
Many individuals new to the domain registration game opt for inexpensive $9.99 domain registrations that are offered by the most popular bulk domain registration companies only to find that their domain has been stolen from a domain hijacker years later after countless time and money has been spent on developing the domain.
It is amazing how owners of million dollar web businesses will entrust their entire online company to a $9.99 domain registration company. A discount registrar does not give your million dollar web business any special attention as it can not offer any type of reliable security for such a low price.
One of the most common and new techniques is to simply email the registration company and ask them to forward emails to a new anonymous email address, then they ask for a domain transfer and hijack the domain, once the domain is gone, it is gone forever. Read the story of how Sex.com spent millions of dollars and many many years trying to get their domain back and never did. The discount registrars simply do not have the time to waste on verifying all of the data as most of the requests are handled automatically by the computer support system.
Here are some recent examples of million dollar domains that were hijacked successfully:
Domain registrars have no way to protect against this as the hijackers are just too tricky, some companies such as ManageMySite.com are offering managed web domains which seem to eliminate the hijacking.
The first step to start making money on the internet is registering your
first domain name.
Just be careful when selecting domain registrars because you do not want to have a problem with losing your hard work and your domain due to a problem with an unsecure domain registration company. We only use ManageMySite.com , a leader in security locked domain registrations. With low quality domain registrations a scammer could try to transfer your domain into his account if it is not locked, this locking security feature is included in ManageMySite.com domain registrations and we have never heard of anyone getting Hijacked.
The total for a 1 year domain registration is only $29.99 including all fees, which is surely the lowest single expense your website will have and yet the most important.
Before you begin you should have a domain name in mind that you would like to register.
Domains that work best will be about the main subject of the website you are going to create.
We always recommend registering the .com version of the website as it is the most user friendly
and does not usually cost extra.
Good Luck with your online business!
