DBS - Domain monitoring service
Domain Monitoring Service
Domain Watch Service or abbreviated 'DBS' is a service MijnHostingPartner.co.uk offers for companies to protect your brand. The Domain Watch Service ensures that there is an active scan for domain names that resemble your domain name. This prevents your customers from being directed to another website by a typo they made when entering your web address. If a domain is registered that is very similar to your domain name then email messages (phishing) can be sent from the incorrect domain. You can imagine that not everyone checks the email address carefully and that is why these types of phishing attacks are successful. The Domain Watch Service prevents such domain names from being registered.
The Domain Watch Service detects phishing, misspellings (typo's) and trademark infringement worldwide quickly and efficiently. This allows quick action to be taken to prevent damage to your company name or brand name.
Common variants of typo's (typosquatting, misspellings) are:
- Typos ('MyHostingPartmer' instead of 'MyHostingPartner')
- Inversion of letters ('MjinHostingPartner' instead of 'MyHostingPartner')
- Omission of the same consecutive vowel or consonant ('Domeinaam' instead of 'Domain Name')
- Double typing of letters ("MiijnHostingPartner" instead of "MyHostingPartner")
