Somebody should start a "NO PUSH" and "NO TRANSFER" registrar

[networkmsia]

This "no push" and "no transfer" registrar would certainly prevent domain thief.

and then, every client would be given a "keychain automatic secret code generator" that must be used along with the username and password everytime he logins.

I am sure its gonna be a great success, as many steady website owners would use it to secure their website and domains.

Money talks... How much are you going to pay?
Why no just start your own registrar?

Fabulous.com has executive lock, challenge questions and the security key, Name.com has the security key.

.WS was like that for many years and everyone complained because they couldn't transfer to another registrar.

You could push a .ws domain at the same registrar..but could not transfer out.

I refused to buy even good keywords because the domains were at horrible registrars

To be honest, your idea might scare customers away. While it may seem good in regards to security, there are other issues that come into play as well.

Look at it this way:

You register your domain with them and all is fine and dandy. But then one day the registrar says, "What the heck. Lets raise our prices to make more profit." They raise their price of registration by $10. Then they do the same the year after that because they want to profit even more. Well now your mad so you contact support. But guess what? All the support got outsourced and you cant understand them at all. So now you are really mad and decide well, lets transfer to another registrar. Oh wait, you can't. No transfers. Well isn't that rotten?

I could have the wrong idea on what you meant by no transfers. But I would have to assume you meant pushes as well as transfers to other registrars because transferring to other registrars is one of the methods domains are stolen. All you need is access to the customer's email account in some cases.

I think taking away the ability to push and transfer might put a damper on the flexibility of what customers can do. Giving customers the option to choose is a powerful thing. There are many registrars already out there that have implemented a great deal of push and transfer protection tools. Moniker for example has features (if you choose to use them) that prevent any kinds of pushing or transfers unless you go through a strict offline authorization proceedure requiring you to provide documentation such as a government ID, etc.

So maybe the answer isn't removing push and transfer capabilities, but allowing the customer choose to have more strict security measures take place in order to perform such tasks.

GoDaddy.com has a feature for Executive account holders that blocks all pushes/transfers unless they are manually approved using a security code.

Stop your search networkmsia just use 1and1.com its almost a guarantee that you can not transfer a domain name out of that company.

I talk from experience that it was almost impossible to transfer my own domain names out. And if by chance you get your domain out of 1and1.com to another registrar, they still charge you renewal fees year after year after year after year.

lol

thanks bmugford. looks like there are already good registrars with good security measures.
I hope those people with high quality portfolios will look into these to reduce the amount of domain thief.
