Web host and domain name registrar Hostway announced it has released DomainGuard, a new product designed to protect its
customers from losing domain names to hijackers or having domain name
control fall into the wrong hands.
Many of
the simple, easy-to-remember domain names are already registered,
heating up the competition for those that are left. Once you secure
your perfect name, it's important to make sure no one can take it away
from you.
DomainGuard issues
domain name owners a unique password. When someone attempts to edit
settings or transfer a protected domain name, a DomainGuard page
prompts the user to enter the password. No changes may be made until
the correct password is entered, ensuring only the original owner can
authorize changes.
DomainGuard protects domains from accidental or malicious changes to:
- DNS settings
- Subdirectory changes
- Domain name aliases
- WhoisProtector
- Nameserver changes
- Domain authorization codes
- And more
DomainGuard costs only $4.95 per domain per year and is available at www.hostway.com. Hostway Corporation (www.hostway.com) provides domain name
registration, web hosting, web design
and online marketing services to more than 400,000 customers worldwide.
It
operates state-of-the art data centers that reduce the complexity and
cost of web-based technologies for small businesses and large
enterprises. Founded in
1998, Hostway is one of the five largest web hosting companies in the
world.
