Beware of Cyber Squatters

The main activity of wrongdoers known as Cyber squatters is to steal your domain name or web identity. Then they will register your name under YourDomainName.org or YourDomainName.biz, and then get in touch with you to sell you the names at fantastic prices. If this attempt fails, then the under mentioned consequences are likely.

These cyber squatters will let your competitor obtain a domain that is similar to your own and create chaos or attempt to divert your traffic, customers and business built up with diligence.

These immediate measures are required to keep the cyber squatters at bay.

Let the concerned people scrutinize you for authorization. Contact your domain registrar and obtain the form in which you can fill up the details of you claim for certain domain names which would be locked in. You may buy these names and keep them in your custody. The form will provide you with information regarding contact details, the officer to be approached in the event of somebody else registering in your domain, your claim of character string (which should be an identical match), details of your products or services offered, and commencement of use of the domain.

An authorized entry form needs to be filled out through a small window. Ask your domain registrar about the time frame window while filling out the authorized entry form. Failure to register a claim within the stipulated time frame will result in the registering authorities not checking the existence of similar .com, .net or .org names. They will not be able to check the IP claim service database. This means that you stand to lose your .info or .net variant of your domain name.

Don’t give an opportunity to cyber squatters to run down and ruin what you have established on the Web. Obtain the rights as well as authorization for all the names which are similar to your principal domain name.
