Your Domain name is your very own ‘brand’ or ‘identity’ on the internet.

Your Domain should be considered an essential part of your business.

But what would be the consequences of losing that domain?

  • Loss of all traffic to your website. If you are running eCommerce, this would mean all online sales would instantly disappear
  • Loss of all your emails. Customers would not be able to contact you. Your existing emails could disappear, so you have to history. How many places do you need your email address to login to?
  • Malicious actors could hi-jack your business. If your domain is compromised, then a bad actor could redirect your website and email. They could use password reset features to get access to the accounts you login to. They could contact your customers and suppliers pretending to be you, potentially redirecting orders, payments and more.

You need a solution to protect you and your business - Domain Locking

.ie Domain Locking

Registry Lock is one of the strongest security protections available for your .ie domain. It adds an extra layer of control at the Registry level, preventing any changes to your domain unless strict verification steps are completed. This means your domain cannot be altered, transferred, or redirected—even if your account is compromised.

The process is simple. When you want to make a change to your domain registration you contact your registrar. A nominated contact from E-Live will then be responsible for submitting requests to the Registry to lock or unlock your domain.
Changes to the status of your domain are then authorised manually by telephone using a person-specific verification process which protects against automation errors and system compromises.

When the Registry Lock service is activated for a domain no unauthorised changes will be permitted to the following records:

  • Domain Holder changes
  • Billing Contact changes
  • Administrative Contact changes
  • Technical Contact changes
  • Modifications to the domain registration by our staff
  • DNS Record (Name Servers) changes
  • Voluntary deletion of the domain

.ie Domain Locking is €60 + vat per annum and gives you peace of mind that your domain is fully protected and adds to your Digital Compliance and CyberSecurity Requirements.
