What Domain Protection Offers

1. Defence against domain theft

Unauthorised changes or transfers can lead to the loss of a domain name. Domain Protection helps prevent this through mandatory Two-Factor Authentication on critical updates and a built-in Domain Transfer Lock. This ensures that no changes or transfers can occur without the account holder’s consent.

2. Improved speed and global reliability

With Anycast DNS deployed across 62 global locations, domain visitors are automatically routed to the closest network node.

This results in:

Faster domain loading speeds

Optimised performance for international users.

Exceptional reliability, backed by a 1000% uptime guarantee.

If one node experiences an issue, traffic is seamlessly redirected, keeping the domain accessible at all times.

3. Resilience against large-scale attacks

DDoS and Botnet attacks can overwhelm online services, causing disruptions and lost revenue. Domain Protection helps absorb and distribute malicious traffic across multiple global points, reducing strain and minimising the risk of outages.

4. A financial buffer for expired domains

Should a domain lapse, recovery fees can be significant. Domain Protection customers receive up to 50% off redemption fees during the recovery window, easing the financial burden of reclaiming a domain.

5. Greater privacy and reduced spam

When registering a domain, contact details are required. With WHOIS Privacy included, personal information such as your name, email address and phone number is concealed from public databases.

This means fewer spam emails, fewer unsolicited calls and a lower risk of fraud or identity misuse.

Domains.co.za CEO, Wayne Diamond, shared the vision behind the launch:

"A domain name is the heart of any company's brand, and cybercriminals are always looking for ways to exploit that. While we include strong security measures as standard in all our solutions, it's clear that customers are looking for an extra layer of defence. Domain Protection is our answer to this."

For only R69.00 per year*, Domain Protection brings together speed, privacy and enhanced security in one seamless solution.

It can be added during the registration of a new domain or activated at any time on an existing domain via the Domains.co.za customer dashboard.
