It is important for one to protect their domain name. Instances have happened that a web site disappeared, not showing up in any search engine results. Some domain registration services can go as far as taking out the site online and taking over the domain. How then does one avoid losing their businesses online?
Be careful when listing contact information
The instance of having a company steal the site usually happens when one leaves their contact information on the site. The administrative contact is usually the one who can manipulate the domain record. If this information is changed then the site’s domain can be easily transferred to another person. There is also the technical contact, which is responsible for technical problems of the site. The legal owner of the domain is the registrant. To avoid any domain stealing, have yourself as the registrant and administrative contact. If you have yourself as the legal owner, you can take action against the new person listed as the “administrative contact.”
Use a registrar lock on your domain
Having a registrar lock limits the changes done to a domain name. Some registrars lock the domain by only letting the registrar’s admin change the domain name. Others lock the name by refusing requests delivers through email. Ensure that your registry service includes a domain lock and study how it works.
Keeping a domain site secure is important in today’s technological age. Be sure to practice extra precautions especially if your site is a web business or very profitable blog.

There are many companies on the Internet that only want to steal your money. Some of these scam companies or services come in the form of domain name registration. These sites offer you a very attractive domain name registration package without giving you the services you really need.
How domain slamming works
Domain slamming is the practice of transferring your domain registry from one company to another. You may already have domain registration with a reputable and reliable company but a scam service might convince you to transfer to their domain registry instead. This starts with the registrar sending renewal or expiration notices for your registration via email or the mail. The company sending you these messages has no affiliation whatsoever with your current site’s registration. If you decide to renew your domain instead of your actual registration, then you will end up paying for unnecessary and nonexistent fees.
Signs your free domain name registrar is a scam
These email or snail mail messages charge you for specific renewal fees. The fees can reach up to hundreds of dollars. Make sure you do not answer any messages related to the “Domain Registry of America” or “Domain Registry of Canada.” Only respond to messages from your domain’s actual company. Double check with your domain company if they have sent you any renewal messages. If the domain service you originally obtained said it was for free, there should be no renewal fees.
The Internet has victimized many scams from people’s foolishness. Always double check the services you register for and the fees involved.

Buying a domain name means getting a memorable domain name especially if you are planning on getting a domain name for your business. Here are some tips in coming up with memorable domain names:
Sticking to short but meaningful domain names
Experts advice users to stick to short, easy-to-remember domain names. Shorter names are also easier to type. They also recommend going for .com extensions because sites with .com are more well-known than other types of extension, are used by a majority of businesses, and are more established and easier to trust.
Avoiding hyphenated domain names
Experts advice avoiding domain names with hyphens because people see these as inferior to those without the hyphen, hyphenated names look like junk or spam sites, and they apparently devaluate your site’s search engine rankings. Another reason is that people often tend to type the unhyphenated versions that will lead them to the other site, not to yours.
Coming up with unique domain names
Unique domain names are important because they make your site memorable. Most users of the Internet usually do not type in domain names but instead make a quick Google search from memory and click from there, so the uniqueness of your domain will play a huge part in whether users looking for your site get to it.

There are a lot of names across the world. Male names, female names, brand names, and even personal car names. There is no greater fun than finding or discovering something and name it to make it yours. One example is in the field of Science, specifically the florescent lamp that is named after the Filipino inventor Agapito Flores. Don't you name your baby after you? I bet sometimes you combine your name with your spouse to create a new name for your baby. But, creating names may twist reality.

Your name might be Angel, and you are reading this page right now. But, I'm sure your life is not angelic as your name is (am I right?). Likewise, not all domain names are true. There are good domain names like perfect-art that display no perfect art but trashy pieces. This is how names twist reality. Another example is sexy-hot-babe domain name but if you'll see her in reality, she's as huge as an elephant's butt.

Scammers are victimizing thousands of people every year through phising. The term phising is a form of a web-based fraud and it is now becoming a widespread terror drawing the attention of lawmakers and more computer users. It involves hijacking a credit company, bank, or online shops' appearance in the Internet to fool consumers. Phisers will lure victims to dislose their personal and financial data like credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and social security numbers.
Saturday, April 28. 2007
 Aside from banks, credit card companies, and famous lending corporations, phisers also found a new place to wreak havoc and distress. These people who got less brains but more evil in them are targeting domain name websites. We know that domains are becoming the highest-grossing industry in the Internet that's why scammers are trying to hook more consumers by disguising as domain websites. As a matter of fact, the phising attacks in domain names already reached a whopping 73% of attacks.
Friday, April 27. 2007
The only trouble seen here is when users become so thick to believe in these fake sites. To protect your businesses from phising attacks, computer experts advised that banks and other financial-focused businesses should register their domain names as soon as possible. If ever they find a malicious website that uses their name, they must at least try to report it to the authorities or better yet buy the website before it's too late.
