Do you have Name Safe on your domain?

[Cierra]

For my registrar at least, they have a program called Name Safe that is supposed to protect your domain:

NameSafe protects your domain from unauthorized changes by requiring identity verification before domain settings can be changed.

Protect your domain from fraudulent or malicious changes, such as:

account ownership changes
contact information tampering
illegal registrar transfers
name server changes (pointing your domain away from your website)
changes to "A" records, "CNAME" records, etc. -- anything that controls the different aspects of how your domain points to your website

I don't have Name Safe but I do buy the yearly domain privacy feature that they offer. Having both programs does seem like a good way to secure your domain(s). It costs $3 a year for the plan I am on which isn't bad.

My host offers it but i don't bother.
It's just like any other company trying to sell you a warranty with the item.

That's what i think.

I'm not sure if we do or not. A friend of mine purchased the domain for us when I revived my forum three years ago. I'll have to check with him on that, although I do have a good mind to say we don't.

My registrar don't have this but they do have 2 factor authentication to protect your account and I am sure they take other measures to prevent fraudulent activity. They also offer privacy protection.

Where we can buy Name Safe?
In my domain or hosting website. Someone can tell me this?
Thank you!

I personally don't have it, but I do have something similar in terms of 2-factor authentication before any major changes are able to be made to any of my hosting/domain accounts.

I don't, I just go with domain privacy and that's all. I don't even have 2FA on my NC account, since they do it via SMS and I change numbers somewhat regularly so that'd become a real hassle.

If they only would bother creating an app to handle all that jazz...

I utilize NameCheap since they offer 2-factor authentication. In addition I utilize WhoisGuard, DNSSEC, and CloudFlare. Just make sure that whoever you are buying hosting from, dns from, etc also offers 2-factor authentication and other security features.

Funny how just yesterday I was looking at NC's 2FA, and their discussion page about it shows some very... uhm, I don't really know what to say about this. I mean, I have a bunch of 2FA's on my phone, and I'd be very happy to have such, but the SMS based system is simply not a very good one.

Nope, It's more money spent
