Domain Name Security for Your Small Business

3. Trademark your domain. If you do get hijacked and your domain name is trademarked, you will have a much easier time proving your case. Trademarking can cost anywhere from $300

4. Set up alternative communications. In the event of a hijacking, your email accounts will not function or may be compromised. If you use your email address for sensitive company information or for customer contact, establish a secondary email address that is not reliant on your domain name. This will ensure that you are not completely cut off during a hijacking.

No one likes to imagine this kind of problem attacking their business, and many companies mistakenly think they are too small to be a target of a domain name hijacker. However, it is much easier to take these steps to ensure that you are prepared, no matter what may happen.
