Introducing CloudFlare Registrar: Designed for Security, Not the Masses
Feb 24, 2016Matthew Prince

Summary
This post introduces Cloudflare Registrar, a new service designed to address the critical security vulnerability of domain hijacking at the registrar level. It details the historical context of domain registration, the inherent security weaknesses in existing mass-market registrars, and Cloudflare's solution which involves implementing robust security measures like registrar and registry locks, multi-user offline confirmation, two-factor authentication, and automatic DNSSEC. This marks an expansion of Cloudflare's security offerings beyond website traffic to the ownership and management of domains themselves.
