Introducing CloudFlare Registrar: Designed for Security, Not the Masses

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has launched its own ICANN accredited registrar to provide high-security domain registration services for its enterprise customers. The company's move comes after it realized that existing registrars did not meet its security standards, and the only way to ensure maximum protection was to become a registrar itself. Cloudflare Registrar implements strict change control processes, including two-factor authentication, multi-user offline confirmation for all DNS changes, consistent use of registrar lock, and registry lock. It also supports DNSSEC by default, adding an additional layer of security against on-path attacks. The service is currently available to enterprise customers who care about the highest level of domain registrar security.
