Whether GoDaddy account and domain name host products are secure with general security precautions

Recently, while wandering around LOC, Lao Zuo saw that many users mentioned the problem of GODADDY domain name. Some said that the renewal price of the domain name was expensive, others said that the domain name was restricted and suspended for some reason. In short, he saw all kinds of negative information about GODADDY domain name vendors, As a result, many people moved to other businesses when they needed to renew the domain name. Lao Zuo wrote an article earlier“ Evaluation: Godaddy domain name and host product in the old left eye "It is also mentioned that GODADDY's domain name, host and other products. After 2014, there have been significant changes in ICANN policies and GODADDY merchants, which are reflected in several aspects.

First, the integrity and authenticity of domain name information

Earlier, when we registered any overseas registrar, the account information was basically false or even simulated false information, except that the email address was our own (most of which were also temporarily registered). Of course, it could also be used, but according to ICANN's policy, the registration information must be true, even if the merchant would not review our information, But as a security consideration of our account, it needs to be true.

first, ICANN requires businesses to check whether the information in our account is true or not. Basically, it will not pass the manual phone review, but through some judgment mechanisms, such as whether our information is scribbled, which is easy to judge. For example, many of us scribble ABCD random keyboard, and then the phone number is one or consecutive numbers, which must be false. Even if we want to hide the domain name information and account information, we should also simulate it as real. With regard to the authenticity verification, we will see that it is necessary to activate the mailbox in the new registration/transfer/modification information. We can use“ Explain the reason and solution of GoDaddy domain name "Pending Whois Verification" "Resolve.

Secondly, if our account is stolen and the domain name is transferred, we need to provide information consistent with the account information. If you can't provide it, can you blame the business for not buying back the domain name for me? Therefore, if we can ensure the security of the account, you can choose to simulate the real information. If you are not sure, you need to provide the real information. Many people say that GODADDY is strict, but in fact it is not. As a company that is going to be listed and has many users, it needs to play a leading role in auditing, and so do other businesses. Laozuo would like to ask, if a business can register information randomly, if the account is stolen, what will you take to retrieve your account and domain name?

Second, the user experience has been greatly improved

For the new version of GODADDY foreground and background user interfaces, and the new cpanel The user experience of,, and PLESK panels has been greatly improved. In the previous evaluation, I also mentioned that novices are not easy to use, but the new UI interface is very good, and it is suitable for display in a variety of media panels. It seems that they have hired good designers.

Third, security of payment information

Lao Zuo also saw this recently, including my own. I also met netizens who came to see me a few days ago. He purchased domain names through TB, then paid by others' payment methods, and then his account was locked. In fact, this is also a problem. We can't guarantee that the other party's source of funds is real, Second, sometimes you may buy cheap domain names that we are not allowed to buy through some means. If you do this, your account will be restricted( Reason and solution for GoDaddy account request to unlock account ), so we need to try our best to use our own payment tools to make payments and use real funds from our own sources.

No matter what the reason is, and whether any real account or domain name has been deleted or suspended, I believe it is definitely not aimed at our Chinese webmaster users. Even if our domestic users and credit cards have not been allowed to buy cheap domain names since 2012, are we not responsible for such results? Even if there is a problem with our account, can we imagine whether the source channel of our domain name is normal, and whether we have invited someone to speculate and register on our behalf? If so, that's the problem.

Similarly, if our account information is scrawled, there should be a letter asking us to modify it before. At least we should modify it a little bit more truthfully. If it is too fake, even the machine can judge it, not to mention in case of manual review? Because ICANN will also randomly select whether the merchant's account information is real.

Safety precautions

If we hope that our GODADDY account and domain name security will not have similar problems, we should start from our own point of view, and the merchants will not create difficulties for us for no reason, specifically in several aspects.

First, formal channel registration

When we need domain names, we must register them through formal channels. For example, we can use them under reasonable circumstances Godaddy Coupon Code To buy cheap domain names or hosts, we are not allowed to buy domains like 0.99 and 1.99 at present. We should not deliberately use simulated overseas accounts and overseas credit cards to buy them. Lao Zuo has also tested them. They can be purchased under certain probability and means, but they are speculative after all. If you want to test them, you can, If you want to do a regular website, you are advised not to test it, because Lao Zuo found that 5 days, 10 days and 18 days after registration, it was deleted or forbidden to parse. If you happen to be a regular website, is that very sad.

The same is true of many TB merchants' cheap registration. Even if there is cooperation with overseas merchants (real overseas users can register cheap domain names), even if we want to try it, Lao Zuo can tell you that Lao Zuo has also let overseas netizens register. A small number of them are OK. If most of them have problems, after all, they are formal in terms of address and payment method, However, they violated the limit on the number of registrations. For example, one discount can only be registered. If he registers multiple accounts and then registers more, all related ones will be deleted after being detected. Lao Zuo has tested, and then more than ten days later, some domain names will be deleted, and of course, some are alive. So if we have such a channel, we can test, But when it is deleted, we should not scold the merchants. We know what we have done.

II. Account security and authenticity of information

Our account settings should be more secure. Most of the time, our account leaks because of our email security, local computer security and other problems. We all know that overseas domain name merchants can directly transfer their domain names online PUSH. If they know our account, they can directly transfer their domain names. We need to provide information to confirm the stolen and our own non active PUSH even if we find it. At this time, we need to provide the same information as the real account. If we can provide it, that's OK. If not, is it our responsibility?

Under certain circumstances, overseas businesses can give us convenience, but the security of accounts and password settings need to be really secure and strict.

In a word, I personally think (really my own opinion) that businesses generally have no problems. After all, they are the domain name businesses with the largest number of registrations, and they also need to be standardized for listing. As well as the network security problems of many websites and platforms at present, we need to pay attention to the security of our accounts and self-protection. Even if we mentioned that the renewal fee is relatively expensive, it is not as cheap as usual from the price comparison in the past. We can choose to renew the fee or transfer the merchants, and there are no restrictions on similar domestic merchants.

PS: If you need a cheap renewal, you can also ask Laozuo to renew it (. COM domain name renewal fee is 58 yuan) through a regular channel.
