Keep a domain secure

Keep your domains safe from hijacking, accidental loss, and silent tampering — this article is for anyone managing domains in InfraNest, no technical background needed.

#Overview

• The Security Advisor checks how well each domain is protected and flags anything that needs attention.
• It only shows actions your registrar and domain ending actually support, so you won't see fixes that can't apply.
• Many issues can be fixed with a one-click fix sent straight to your registrar.

#Run the Security Advisor

1. Open a domain from your Domains list.
2. Look at the Security Advisor panel. Each recommendation explains why it matters and, where supported, offers a one-click fix that's sent straight to your registrar.

#What it checks

• Transfer lock — should be on, to stop anyone moving your domain away without permission.
• WHOIS privacy — should be on, to keep your personal details out of the public record.
• DNSSEC — recommended, to protect your DNS from tampering. It is set in two places and can take a domain offline if it goes wrong — see Turn on DNSSEC (and what to do when it breaks).
• Auto-renew — recommended, so the domain isn't lost at expiry.
• Nameserver health — checks the domain's live nameservers for problems or unexpected changes.

#Other registrar actions

From the same domain page you can also change nameservers, edit contacts, manage DNSSEC, and get the EPP / auth code (to move the domain elsewhere). Only the actions your registrar supports are shown; the rest are greyed out with a reason.

NoteInfraNest watches for drift — if a domain's nameservers or status change outside InfraNest, it flags them so you can check.
