Website building always involves the topic of security. We often talk about the security of the hosting provider, but from the hosting provider to the website data to the domain name, every aspect is crucial. With the increasing number of domain name thefts, we should be more aware of the importance of protecting our domain names. Below, we explain why and how to protect them.
1. Enter Information Accurately
Domain registration requires personal information. Often, webmasters use false information to protect their personal information. While this can mitigate privacy breaches to a certain extent, it poses a significant risk to the security of the domain name.
If a domain name is lost, we can use authentic, valid information to recover it. However, if personal information is required, the domain name cannot be verified.
2. Make Your Password as Complex as Possible
Set a password for your domain name, especially one that's not too simple. Ensure that there are no shared passwords and change it regularly. This will significantly improve the security of your domain account.
3. Protect Your Registration Email
Because domain name registration is confirmed via email, and much information is also transferred via email, it's important to protect your email account.
If your email account is lost, someone can easily reset your domain account password through email.
4. Avoid clicking on unknown links.
Password theft by clicking on unknown links is common. Similar to phishing emails, these links often contain Trojans or other viruses. Clicking on the link can reveal your password.
5. Pay attention to the URL of the website you log in to.
This is a tricky topic. Domain name registrations now generally begin with "http." If not, it's likely a fake website. Therefore, it's best to make changes and set up your account in an "http" network environment.
6. Avoid logging in from public places.
Public places have poor security and are prone to virus installation. Therefore, avoid logging into your domain account from internet cafes or public Wi-Fi.
