You need to be aware of domain security (safety) issues that are important. One of the most prevalent of all concerns is making sure you do not receive fraudulent communication messages by way of your DNS server. You need to be careful and you need to protect yourself. Your name servers (DNS servers) are not the only thing that needs to be protected. All your website files and computer files should be protected as well.

Simple Ways To Protect Yourself
One of the most useful tips regarding the protection of your domain name and all your servers is the use of a system of securing everything properly. Some of the tips to remember when attempting to secure domain servers would be one or more of the following:

• If possible set yourself up for local logon capabilities.


• Allow your computer to be accessed from a secure network.


• Test your domain system before you launch it to the public.


• Have channel data electronically encrypted or digitally signed.


• Do not allow anonymous SAMS accounts and shares numbering systems.


• Chance the “Let Everyone” permissions to apply to anonymous users (which you may or may not even allow anyway.

The above settings as well as others not mentioned are located in your windows control panel. They are listed under the “Security Options” under the “Local Policies” Section of Windows Security Settings. Refer to your Windows operating guide for more information. There are other safety tips that you can apply as well. For instance, you may want to block unwanted communication that you receive from other DNS servers that you do not trust.

You can identify any DNS intruders when you do a simple reverse DNS lookup, or regular DNS lookup. This will help you pinpoint which IP addresses are being generated, and whether or not an attempt is being made to steal your domain. Once you have identified any problems with someone trying to intrude on your DNS system you then can take action. For instance, some people will install DNS spam filters in order to eliminate this problem.

Another major problem you may want to be aware of is that of cybersquatting, which is the stealing of a domain name. There are ways you can possibly prevent this, such as using a proxy IP address, which is one that represents you but is not exactly you.
