Is your domain portfolio naughty or nice? A quick year-end check

A quick year-end domain security checklist

As online activity spikes toward the end of the year, we typically see an increase in domain-based phishing attempts. It’s a good time to take stock of your portfolio and make sure there are no easy entry points for bad actors.

Here’s a simple year-end checklist to help you stay ahead and keep your domain on the nice list:

1. Review any unused or forgotten domains and decide whether to secure or retire them
2. Check for look-alike TLDs still available for registration
3. Confirm DNS records are current, accurate and intentional
4. Verify redirects and legacy paths point to where they should
5. Ensure WHOIS contact information is up to date
6. Look for cloned landing pages using your brand or naming patterns
7. Confirm registrar access and permissions are correct
8. Review your defensive domain coverage for 2026

A few minutes now can prevent larger issues when traffic and attention are at their highest.
