NameSentry™
The Challenge:
Domain abuse can stain the reputation of your business, and significantly impacts your users, your sales, your operational costs, and the resolvability of your domains.
Reports of abusive registrations have led providers to blacklist millions of domain names, and to block entire TLDs in attempts to protect users. Highly sophisticated criminals systematically take advantage of domain name registries and registrars every day. Abuse can cost a registry or registrar hundreds of thousands of dollars in customer service and legal costs, not to mention the irreversible damage to your brand.
The solution is simple. Introducing our NameSentry™ abuse detection and mitigation service.

What Are The Options When It Comes To Domain Abuse?
1. Ignoring abuse is not an option. New TLDs must fulfill ICANN’s anti-abuse requirements. ccTLDs must worry about government scrutiny. And all TLDs must protect their brands and control their operational costs.
2. Rely on your back-end registry services provider. Unfortunately their services tend to be “one-size-fits-all” solutions and may not meet the unique needs of your TLD. Their services often address only some types of abuse, but not others. And lastly, they provide detection only, leaving mitigation up to the TLD manager.
3. Build your own. But this requires hiring highly specialized staff, developing or purchasing data, and building tools and procedures. The costs in money and time are high.
4. Outsource. Until now, there were no other options to effectively detect and curb abuse, at a reasonable cost. Now you can outsource this specialty need to an independent and trusted third party, who has the tools and capabilities you need.
