How to Avoid Domain-Name-Registration Spam

What do buying a house, purchasing a car, and registering a website domain all have in common?

This isn’t the setup to a bad joke.

The answer is spam.

Unfortunately, when you register a domain name, through no fault of your own you will likely be hammered with unsolicited spam. You’ll get renewal notices, offers to sell similar domains, and information about making your site faster or more secure. Spam messages can come to your inbox, voicemail, and even your physical mailbox.

Fortunately, there are ways to avoid spam related to a domain name registration. And it all starts with knowing why it’s coming and how to recognize it.

avoid this common scamWhy are You Being Flooded with Spam?

When you register a new website domain, the information is entered into a massive public database called “WHOIS,” which is located at who.is. This site records who owns what site, showing information like registration, expiration, and renewal data. It’s like registering a trademark or documenting real estate ownership in a public setting.

The problem is that people, including spammers and scammers (often the same), can access the information and use it to their own means. They can search the site, find new registrations, and flood potential victims with “offers.”

What to Do About It

Unfortunately registering a site is mandatory, but you can hide your information in certain cases by purchasing additional domain privacy. This will prevent people from discovering your details and could help reduce or eliminate the amount of spam you see. This step does not keep your information from being stored on WHOIS, but merely hides your information.

You can also enhance your privacy settings so spam email does not flood your inbox and instead goes to your spam folder. Filter options vary depending on what email service you use, but virtually all email providers deliver some sort of adjustable filters. Just be aware that if you set the filters too tight, you could accidentally block legitimate and important emails.

Have Your Site Managed By a Professional

Website owners who work with teams like Nufire Marketing often receive far less spam. While we can’t guarantee the complete elimination of spam messages, we manage the site for many of our customers, which means that if you receive messages regarding the domain name, and that message does not come from us, it’s probably spam. This is another way that we create a better online presence for our customers and clients.
