February 8, 2008 (HOSTSEARCH.COM) Free Rider Web Hosting (http://www.frwh.net) is offering a Protected Registration Service for domain names, it was reported yesterday. The service provides five layers of protection to ensure that a domain name cannot be transferred against a registered users consent. The service also provides useful information for people searching for information on a domain.
The five layers of protection include Domain Ownership Protection, which maintains domains that are not renewed for up to one year, a Deadbolt Transfer Protection feature that makes it impossible for any inadvertent, accidental, or malicious transfers to occur, and Ownership Protection Reports which provide an annual domain status report and email updates to help the customer keep track of vital domain information. In addition, a Private Registration feature allows a customer to register a domain through Domains by Proxy and keep key information private. The final layer of protection is Business Registration, a marketing-type service that allows customers to display information such as their website, phone number, hours of operation and other information to be viewed by people making searches to gather information about a domain.
"The Protected Registration service is one of the most comprehensive tools we have seen for ensuring that a domain remains in the customer's ownership and provides useful information for people searching for details on the domain," said Simon Drain, CEO of Free Rider Web Hosting. "Protected Registration is sure to be an invaluable service for both new and existing customers."
