As any online business matures and grows, so grows their domain name portfolio. As online replaces brick & mortar, Domains (and DNS) are ever more important parts of your IP (Intellectual Property) and act as the true foundation of your online business. Your online brand, DNS & domain name are so closely tied together that any downtime, outages, expirations of your Domain, DNS or SSL will wreak havoc on your online infrastructure. This is really bad for business not to mention the extraordinary amount of lost revenue and intangible brand damage.

Modern businesses now tend to own more domain names than ever before due to mergers/acquisitions, marketing programs and brand & phishing protection. The more domains an organization has, the better the likelihood that these domains are spread out over many different registrars. Some at GoDaddy, some at Reg123, some at Network Solutions and maybe a few at WildWest. The list goes on and having more than a few domains a different registrars can cause you to accidentally lose domains due to missed expirations or failure to keep your contact details updated across your portfolio.

Owning domains that could be mistaken for your brand name is a key defense strategy against phishing and other attacks. These attacks tend to use a look-alike website with a domain that is mistaken for your brand. It’s better that you own them than the crooks!
