Network Solutions includes a FREE Domain Protect feature with most domain name registrations. Domain Protect adds an extra layer of protection against unauthorized domain name transfers.
When turned on, this feature blocks transfers of your domain name from occurring until the Domain Protect feature is turned off. This extra layer of security may provide protection from disgruntled employees, "domain hijackers," or others who may attempt to falsify your identity and authorize a transfer request for your domain name registration.
With Domain Protect turned ON, you can still perform legal name changes, account consolidation, and internal transfers with ease through Network Solutions online Account Manager.
Turning the Domain Protect feature OFF or ON is easy. Simply login to Account Manager, click on the domain name. Then click Turn It On next to Domain Protect in the "Domain Information" section of the page.
