Monitor Your Domain Names With Domain Tools Posted: 16 Nov 2010 04:38 AM PST The domain name is one of the most important parts of your blog/website. If someone manages to steal or hijack it, you’ll pretty much lose everything else. And the worrisome part is that stealing a domain is not that hard. The most used strategy to do this is to get access to the email account of the victim, to set an email forwarder that will redirect the victim’s emails to the malicious user, and then to transfer the domain to a new account (the person will be able to do this because he has access to the authorization codes that are sent via email). There are also other techniques around, but they are more sophisticated. The bottom line is that keeping a close look on your domains is always a good idea. If you want some help with that you can use the Domain Monitor Service from DomainTools.com. The service is completely free, although you’ll need to register a user account first. Once you have an account you can add as many domains as you want, and the tool will track and alert you about changes of: Domain status (e.g., if the registration lock is removed from your domain) Domain name servers (e.g., if your domain starts pointing to a new server) Registrar change (e.g., if a registrar starts a transfer process on your domain) Expiration dates (e.g., if your domain expires or gets renewed) It’s a pretty useful service, and once you set it up you can forget about it. Check it out. Original Post: Monitor Your Domain Names With Domain Tools
