I’ve been using Fabulous.com as my primary domain registrar for two years now; it was a choice that was made despite having had a long term commitment to eNom.
As I’ve reviewed the features of domainer-grade registrars in the past and presented the extensive level of security Fabulous.com provides, I shall add nothing more of my own.
Fabulous just sent out this email which further indicates the strong commitment to security that they have been providing in their 10+ years of existence:
In light of recent security/fraud issues amongst the domain community, I feel it is important to remind you of the additional levels of security Fabulous.com offer to help protect your domain assets. We provide both domain and account level security to minimize the risk of losing domains through fraud and/or hijacking.
Account Security
Fabulous.com offers two forms of Account Security to protect sensitive areas within your account; the Fabulous Security Key or Challenge/Response Security Questions. Both provide an additional layer of security across certain sections of the account including:
- Transfers
- Name Servers
- Pushes
- Finance
- Domain Edits
- E-mail Forwarding
If an account password happened to be compromised, having access to these specific functions would put your domains at risk of hijacking. By taking advantage of either the Fabulous Security Key or Challenge/Response Security Questions, access to these areas of your account are given only if authentication is successful.
Domain Protection
For over 8 years Fabulous.com has allowed domain owners to apply an Executive Lock (E-lock), which provides even greater protection on a domain level.
The E-lock effectively freezes a domain’s registry settings and can only be removed by Fabulous.com management after a special condition(s), specified by the client, has been fulfilled. A domain under E-lock cannot be transferred, pushed or have the name servers modified.
I strongly urge you to apply E-locks to your most premium names and also use one of the Account Level Security options. In doing so, you can feel confident that your domain assets will remain secure.
If you have any questions or need assistance with your account, please don’t hesitate in contacting your Account Manager, Support, or myself.
For those that are attending TRAFFIC Miami, I look forward to seeing you there.
Cheers,
