Angel Selebano, head of communications and awareness at the .ZA Domain Name Authority (ZADNA), said there are several steps businesses should take to secure their domain name.
Businesses should ensure that their service providers are not the ones that are listed as domain name holder/registrant
“Firstly, it is advisable for businesses and brands to register their domain names under a corporate entity’s name as opposed to having an individual listed as the registrant of the domain. This alleviates the risk of losing the domain to a particular individual in the event of irreconcilable differences.”
According to Selebano, what many businesses don’t realise is that regaining ownership of a domain that is now outside the company’s purview could end up being a lengthy and costly legal process.
“Businesses should also ensure that their service providers are not the ones that are listed as domain name holder/registrant. This will ensure that there is business continuity should the business decides to change from one service provider to another that offers the same services.”
