Newbie could use some advice

[Avabelle]

Hello from Canada.

I own several domain names and I could really use some direction. I currently have my domain names parked on Sedo.

I have purchased my domain names through both godaddy.com and bluehost.com

I have heard of people who have had domain names stolen - What is the best way to stop this from happening?

Thanks in advance...

Godaddy has some filters for that and I'm sure Bluehost does too. Were they just hand regged? You probably don't have much reason to worry too much - but on godaddy, you can keep the domain locked and only unlock it if you want to transfer out, I believe.

look around their sites for some articles or call them to find out more.

I have never heard of the term "hand regged" - I'm not sure what that means.

I picked my domains out myself - didn't buy them from anyone else.

Most of them are from Bluehost - I will check and see if they lock the domains.

Thanks for answering the newbie

For me to "hand reg" is to buy a fresh domain yourself without getting it from another, it is different to buying expired domains too as it hasn't been tested.

It is BRAND NEW
