Dynadot Help

AbuseShield is an exciting, powerful new tool that gets you an additional 50-100 domains that resemble your domain, which are then blocked and deposited into your account for a fraction of the cost of registering them one-by-one. The variations of your domain name are identified using AbuseShield's top-of-line proprietary machine learning algorithm and provide multiple benefits:

Cost-effective coverage and crucial domains deposited straight into your Dynadot account.
Prevent others from copying or impersonating you - protect what you're creating!
Blocked domain variants can be unblocked and used by you at any time.
If a domain variant identified by AbuseShield as risky is already taken, it will be automatically caught and included in your batch as soon as it is deleted – at no extra cost!
Protect your customers or website visitors from being targeted in phishing attacks using lookalike domains.

The domain variants included in your AbuseShield can include, but are not limited to, some of the following examples:

E.g. pay-yourdomain, login-yourdomain, yourdomains, yourdomaIn, yourdoмain + more
E.g. мightytacos, mightytacoz, mighttytacos, mìghtytacos, miqhtytacos, mightyτacos + more
E.g. pay-yibberyabber, wwwyibberyabber, yibberyabber-login, yibbreyabber, https-yibberyabber, yibberyablber, yibberÿabber, + more

Taking control of your online presence is key for today's domain name owners. Utilizing intelligent new tools such as AbuseShield ensures that you stay one step ahead of the rest.

To add AbuseShield to a domain name, you can either apply it to the domain during the registration checkout process, or it can be applied to an existing domain in your Dynadot account by following these steps:

1. Sign in to your Dynadot account.
2. Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and click "Manage Domains" in the drop-down.
3. In the "Domains" column, click on the name of the domain name you want to apply AbuseShield protection to.
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the "Abuse Shield" section.
5. Click on the 'Add' button on the right side of the page. This will add the AbuseShield protection for that domain into your cart.
6. Click on your shopping cart and follow the "Checkout" buttons to submit your order.

You can also add/renew the AbuseShield for your domain in your shopping cart if there's a renewal item for the same domain.
