Abstract
A domain name hi-jack prevention service may be selected by a domain name registrant and enabled by a Registrar. In a first embodiment, the Registrar may send a confirmation request via a preferred contact method to the registrant and only move the domain name from a first account to a second account (both managed by the Registrar) when the registrant confirms the request. In a second embodiment, a third party platform that is independent from and/or not the Registrar confirms the identity of the registrant before the Registrar moves the domain name from the first account to the second account (again, both managed by the Registrar). In a third embodiment, a third party platform communicates an authorization code to a verified registrant so the registrant can enter the authorization code with a Gaining Registrar so the domain name may be transferred from a Losing Registrar to the Gaining Registrar.
