Hey everybody. In this video tutorial,
0:02
I'm going to show you and explain to you
0:04
Godaddy domain protection is worth it or
0:07
not. So first off, before I would tell
0:09
you if it is worth it or not, let's show
0:12
what it can do. Right. So there are two
0:14
domain protection plans for a go domain.
0:17
And if you select a domain in your
0:19
domain portfolio and select protection
0:20
plans, you can click on upgrade
0:22
protection plans. And you can see the
0:24
two options you have. So you have full
0:26
domain protection and automate domain
0:28
protection. So, as you can see, it's um
0:30
almost as expensive as one year of
0:33
registration for a domain. So, only for
0:36
the first year. The ultimate domain
0:37
protection is 22 and then it's $33. And
0:41
basically what you get is you get an
0:43
extra 90 days to renew your domain. And
0:46
this is pretty useless because when your
0:48
domain expires, you will always get
0:50
notifications in email in GoDaddy that
0:53
your domain expires. So, you will have
0:55
plenty of times to renew a domain. So
0:58
this ultimate domain protection is not
1:00
worth it and we have full domain
1:02
protection which is the cheaper option
1:03
and basically you get alerted before
1:05
your domain is transferred out of your
1:07
account and you can make sure that only
1:09
verified users can change your domain
1:11
contact info and you can verify your
1:13
identity before before completing
1:15
high-risk domain actions. It's half the
1:17
price of the ultimate domain protection
1:19
but it's also not worth it. Why? Because
1:21
you can get these features for free in
1:23
GoDaddy. So Godaddy is an expensive
1:25
domain register. So, if you want to save
1:27
money, you can just transfer out all of
1:29
your domains to Cloudflare or the one I
1:32
recommend is Dino Dot. But if you are
1:34
using GoDaddy, because you have to, you
1:36
don't have to use any of these domain
1:38
protections because to be able to make
1:41
your account secure, you can just turn
1:43
on two factor authentication for your
1:46
domain. And nobody will be able to sign
1:48
into your account with just your
1:49
password. They also have to have your
1:51
phone because with two-factor
1:53
authentication, you can authenticate via
1:55
an authenticator app. I have a tutorial
1:57
on my YouTube channel that you can check
1:59
out on how you can turn on two factor
2:01
authentication for your GoDaddy account.
2:03
And that is absolutely free to use. You
2:05
don't have to get this full domain
2:06
protection at all. If you have
2:08
previously purchased this domain
2:09
protection, you just click on protection
2:11
plans here and downgrade your plans and
2:13
you won't get charged with this
2:15
ridiculous annual fees for your code
2:18
domain protections. So all know this is
2:20
my opinion on if Godaddy domain
2:22
production is worth it. Simple answer
2:24
it's no it's not worth it. Make sure to
2:26
downgrade it and you don't need it. And
2:28
if you want to make your account secure
2:30
make sure to turn on two factor
