By the end of 2024, this coverage will be expanded to 700-800 TLDs to ensure even more comprehensive protection. This means that your brand name will be blocked on a wide range of domain extensions, preventing anyone else from registering it. This extensive coverage is particularly important as the number of available TLDs constantly grows, increasing the risk of brand misuse.
Simple Management: Save time and resources by blocking all relevant domains in a single transaction instead of having to register numerous individual domains. With GlobalBlock, you can manage your domain portfolio efficiently and easily. This not only reduces administrative tasks but also minimizes the costs typically associated with managing a large number of domains. Centralized management allows you to focus on other important business areas while keeping your brand protected.
Enhanced Protection: GlobalBlock+ provides additional protection by automatically blocking look-alike variants of your brand, which are often used in phishing attacks and other fraudulent activities. This ensures that even variants of your brand name remain safe. This is especially important in today's digital landscape, where phishing attacks and other forms of cyber fraud are increasingly common. With GlobalBlock+, not only are the exact matches of your brand protected, but also similar variants that could be used by fraudsters.
