 Overview

As your site becomes more successful, there may also may be an increased risk of copycats or typo-squatters. With Domain Guard, you will be notified each time a new domain name similar to yours is registered, helping you protect your trademarks, copyrights, and brand. 

Domain Guard allows a user to select a guard threshold for their domain (relaxed, average, or strict). Every day the Domain Guard system compares the domain against all domains registered on the previous day, and notifies the user if there are any domains that are similar to their guarded domain.

Domain Guard displays the following information:

  • Domain name being guarded
  • Email address - notices are sent to this address
  • Guard Threshold 
  • Number of sent notices and view option
  • Add Domain options
