High-value domains require protection beyond standard security features. Corporate brands, revenue-generating properties, and critical infrastructure domains face sophisticated attacks from determined adversaries. Domain hijacking can devastate businesses through lost revenue, damaged reputation, and email compromise. Our advanced domain protection provides the maximum security available.
Domain protection combines multiple layers of security that work together to prevent unauthorized access and changes. From registrar-level locks through registry-level protections to procedural controls requiring out-of-band verification, these layers make domain hijacking practically impossible for protected domains.
Standard Protection (Included)
All domains registered through InternetAdresse receive foundational security protections at no additional cost.
Registrar Lock
Registrar lock (client transfer prohibited) prevents transfer requests from being processed. Transfers require you to explicitly unlock the domain first. This simple control stops most opportunistic hijacking attempts where attackers try to transfer domains to registrars they control.
Two-Factor Authentication
Account access requires two-factor authentication, ensuring that password compromise alone cannot provide access to your domains. Authenticator apps, hardware security keys, and backup codes provide flexible but secure authentication options.
Activity Notifications
Receive immediate email notifications when sensitive account or domain changes occur. Be alerted to login attempts, DNS modifications, transfer requests, and contact changes in real-time. Early awareness of unauthorized activity enables rapid response.
Advanced Protection Options
High-value domains warrant additional protections that go beyond standard security.
Registry Lock
Registry lock provides the maximum protection available for domain names. When enabled, the registry itself places holds on the domain that prevent all changes—transfers, DNS modifications, contact updates, and even deletion. Removing these holds requires out-of-band identity verification through your account manager, typically via phone call with security questions and callback verification.
Even if your account is fully compromised, an attacker cannot modify a registry-locked domain through our systems. The verification process occurs outside the normal platform, requiring personal contact with verified identity confirmation. This protection defeats the most sophisticated attacks.
Authorization Escalation
Configure specific domains to require additional authorization for sensitive operations. Designate multiple authorized contacts who must approve major changes. Set cooling-off periods before changes take effect, allowing time to detect and cancel unauthorized requests.
Dedicated Security Review
Enterprise customers with advanced protection receive periodic security reviews of their domain configuration. Our security team evaluates your setup, identifies potential vulnerabilities, and recommends improvements. This proactive approach ensures protection remains current against evolving threats.
When to Use Advanced Protection
Not every domain requires registry lock, but some clearly do. Consider advanced protection for domains that meet these criteria.
Brand and Revenue Domains
Your primary corporate domain that customers associate with your brand deserves maximum protection. Similarly, domains generating significant revenue through e-commerce or advertising represent high-value targets worth protecting with every available control.
Email Infrastructure
Domains handling corporate email are particularly sensitive. Email hijacking enables password resets for countless other services, making the primary email domain a critical target. Registry lock prevents attackers from redirecting email through DNS changes.
Regulatory Requirements
Some industries face regulatory requirements for protecting critical infrastructure. Financial services, healthcare, and government contractors may need demonstrable maximum protections for domains associated with regulated operations.
