Introduction
Securing a domain is step one—but keeping it safe is just as important. Imagine losing your business’s online identity overnight because you forgot to renew your domain. It happens more often than you think.
The Risks of Poor Security
- Expired domains can be bought by competitors or cybercriminals
- Lack of privacy protection can expose your contact details online
- Weak passwords put your domain account at risk of hacking
Renewals and Auto-Renew
Always enable auto-renewal on your domain. Forgetting a renewal by even one day can mean losing your name forever. For businesses, this can mean downtime, loss of trust, and expensive recovery efforts.
Domain Privacy Protection
Most registrars offer WHOIS privacy, which hides your personal details from public records. This reduces spam, protects your identity, and makes your domain more secure.
Additional Security Best Practices
- Use a trusted registrar
- Lock your domain to prevent unauthorized transfers
- Use multi-factor authentication on your domain account
Final Thoughts
Protecting your domain safeguards your brand’s future. Think of it as locking your shop doors every night—it’s basic business security for the digital world.
