Protect Your Domain

Protect Your Domain
Kirk, a website design and development company with experience in mobile website development, global SEO services and online reputation management, understands the importance of safeguarding your domain and the required ongoing vigilance. When growing your business online, you don’t want to allow anyone to misrepresent a domain name associated with your business.

Our web development franchise is informing you of the dangers in the cyber community. One threat to your business and/or website is having someone divert traffic away from your site through the use of domain names. For example, Olympic.com is owned by Olympic Paint instead of the well-known international athletic competition. Or, as I am sure most of you know, in the recent news a site with the domain name, JebBush.com, now redirects to the presidential campaign page, donaldjtrump.com, and features Trump’s slogan with options to support or donate to his campaign.

Losing your domain name could clearly be a disaster, which is why hiring a digital strategy company, like Kirk, will ensure that you are protected and that things don’t slip through the cracks.

Anyone can set up shop using a variation of your domain name or company name. Our experience with online reputation management services has taught us that purchasing multiple domains associated with your company can be a great way to protect your asset and eliminate the risk of your competition potential leads and clients.

Actively protect your domain by protecting your business name. Your global SEO company, Kirk, suggests using trademark insignias like TM, SM and ® that will alert other companies that you have legal rights to your name and domain.

We understand that your domain name is an investment, which is why Kirk’s website design and development team wants to help you guard your digital asset.

Here are some tips:

  • Prevent unapproved alterations to your domain name’s settings.
  • Keep your domain name’s contact information up-to-date.
  • Frequently log into your customer account and make sure your account and domain name contacts are current and accurate.
  • Lock your domain name from within your account to prevent unapproved changes to another registrar.
  • Keep your e-mail secure if you want to keep your domain safe.
  • Install antivirus/spyware software. Update your antivirus/spyware software periodically.
