Physical Security and Whois Privacy — Fabulous Adds

Domain name registrar adds fresh security features and advanced whois privacy.

Domain name registrar Fabulous is adding two fresh features counting a whois privacy service that sets the bar for client service. The features will be available July 1.

The first fresh feature is a physical security device that adds additional security to sensitive areas of your account, such as name pushes and nameserver changes. The USB device delivers a one time-use passcode with the push of a button, which is then required to perform the action.

Fabulous is also introducing whois privacy. Although whois privacy is a common registrar feature, Fabulous’ seems to be the most registrant friendly. Each user gets a unique identifier so they can receive all voicemail intended for the registrant. (Most whois services just have a generic registrar phone number). All e-mail and notable postal mail is also forwarded to the registrant. The service is free, although there’s a $25 charge if the firm needs to forward notable postal mail such as a domain dispute.
