Sep 24, 2008 : Moniker Launches Domain MaxLock

📅 September 24, 2008 - Domain aftermarket provider and Oversee (oversee.net) subsidiary, Moniker (moniker.com) announced on Wednesday it has launched Domain MaxLock (domainmaxlock.com), a product designed to protect valuable domain assets from employee errors or malicious cyber attacks.




The issue of domain asset security is an increasingly important one, as domain investors, enterprise intellectual property and brand managers are determined to protect their online revenue and brand reputation.

Moniker says it prides itself on never losing any of its clients' domain names to hijacking or theft. The introduction of MaxLock is its way of  has has enhanced its already exceptional reputation for domain security with the introduction of MaxLock.

Unauthorized transfers, which are often a result of shared accounts, employee errors, high-jacked email accounts, automated transfers or pushes by domain marketplace distribution networks, can cause significant risks to businesses, as well as substantial damage to operations and revenue. Unlike a standard registrar lock, MaxLock ensures that domain assets cannot be transferred or pushed to another account without a thorough offline validation and account verification process performed by the Moniker security team.

Monte Cahn, head of Oversee's aftermarket and registrar division, says the division will continue to develop products and services that give domain registrants, buyers and sellers the confidence to conduct business with Oversee. 

"Safety for domain assets is critical, and MaxLock is the best service available for anyone who wants iron-clad protection for their names," says Cahn. "Over time, Oversee's companies will continue to make available the tools anyone involved in the industry needs to conduct business efficiently and safely." Go Daddy recently filed a patent for its own system to protect against domain name theft, a customer subscription-based service where domain transfer-out notices are automatically rejected.

Oversee's aftermarket and registrar division, through Moniker and SnapNames, offers businesses and individual investors a complete range of domain asset management service. These services include name creation, registration, acquisition, portfolio management, appraisal and escrow services as well as after-market sales and live auctions.

Moniker is offering more than 2,000 premium domain names for bid in an auction at this week's T.R.A.F.F.I.C. New York domain industry conference.
