How to Protect Your Domain Name From Loss and Hijacking — Eudora Technology

Losing a domain — to a lapsed renewal, a hijack, or a transfer scam — can take your whole business offline. Protecting your domain is simple once you know the risks.

Protecting your domain

  1. Enable auto-renewal and keep billing details current.
  2. Turn on registrar and transfer locks.
  3. Use WHOIS privacy to hide personal details.
  4. Secure the registrar account with MFA.
  5. Keep DNS records documented and backed up.
Key takeaways
  • A missed renewal is the most common way to lose a domain.
  • Transfer locks and MFA stop most hijack attempts.
  • WHOIS privacy reduces targeted attacks and spam.
