Scammed out of your domain? (Download Squad)

May 8th 2007 11:36AM Those are great tips Sue. May I also suggest:
1. Registering your name for the maximum time you can afford/are likely to be using it. That's typically ten years for a gTLD. If you know you'll only use a name for a couple of years you may not want to incur the extra costs.

2. Use a "role" based email account for your registrations. If and when I leave my company they wouldn't have to worry about keeping my email account active because we've set up "domainguru@xyz.com" to forward to my account. All they will have to do is forward that email account somewhere else.

3. Utilize privacy services whenever possible.
