Domain and Registrar Security Considerations

1

OpenSRS

Registry locks aren’t always easy to get applied to your domains. They add overhead that most retail registrars don’t want to deal with on top of the thousands of “I forgot my password” emails they already get. If you want to registry lock, you have two options. Your first option is to use an enterprise registrar like MarkMonitor or CSC. However, if you go to their websites, you’ll realize there aren’t straight forward prices listed, and it very much is a “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it” situation. If you don’t have enterprise money, you have another option: OpenSRS. You can register yourself as a domain reseller on OpenSRS, transfer your domains to yourself, and pay them the 300 some USD per domain to manage a registry lock for you.
