These days, cyber-crimes are getting way out of the hand. The domain thieves are now in business. If you get a dropped domain name registered, it’s not considered an illegal act as you are purchasing the domain which is not owned by anyone. If you want to be a good DNS provider then you have to make sure that the domain names you go for are not branded which means that they do not carry any registered trade-marks. If the name represents any kind of registered trademarks then it means it a domain theft. There are many DNS providers operating in the market who are aware of this fact but still they give away the domain names to people just because they are not in use.
There are some steps, which are mentioned below to overcome this problem:
Your domain name should never expire
You should make it your practice that after every 2 months before the expiry of the domain name you renew it. Do not let it expire because your domain can be used by others. The domain provider might sell it before your domain name expires and during this time period the domain name is made open for registration. So, make sure you renew your domain name before it gets sold.
Get the domain lock
When you go to register a new domain name, the registrar applies the domain lock automatically. This lock is a safety option which helps to secure your domain from getting any kind of un-authorized access. But sometimes you have to disable this lock so that you can enable other options. After you have enabled the other domain options, enable the domain lock again so that you remain protected from thefts.
WHOIS protection
This protection is just like the abc.com, which offers a free span time for the 1st year of your domain registration. The WHOIS protection enables hiding of all the information which is related to your domain that includes the email correspondence, home address, contacts etc. The queries applied by WHOIS return information about the registrar. You can check the services of WHOIS protection by typing in your browser WHOIS.
Not for sale
On your homepage banner, make it visible that your domain is not for sale and in your disclaimer you should convey that each and every offer about purchasing your domain would be denied and ignored. At the time of registration, you should ask the registrar to allow the name of the organization and add some details, which are something like ‘this Domain is not for sale’. This is the best strategy, which will help you to stay away from such domain provider who would try to approach you for buying the domain.
Ignore the messages that are belligerent
Always ignore the instant request mails. If there is some content in the email, which is insulting or threatening, always ignore it. It’s a strategy by the criminal DNS provider to make you become weak and by any chance you give them your domain name. So, you should not worry about these types of messages.
