Security as the Highest Priority
Domain Security
Success often relies on a secure website! Attackers could potentially use sensitive content for illegal purposes. However, we help you minimize the risk of such attacks.

First-Step Security Measures
Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication, abbreviated as 2FA, helps protect your login and data from unauthorized access. Your standard login process is enhanced with a second identification factor, namely a time-dependent numerical code. You can generate this code using the world4you app.
Transfer Lock
A transfer lock is a protective mechanism that prevents your domain from being stolen or deleted. It is sometimes referred to as Registrar Lock, Transfer Lock, or Domain Lock.
At world4you, this lock is automatically activated. Nearly every domain can be protected with a transfer lock, except for country domains such as .at, .de, .ch, or .eu. If you wish to transfer your domain to another provider, you must first remove the transfer lock.

Security with SSL Certificates
An SSL certificate (Secure Sockets Layer) is an encryption protocol that ensures secure data transmission over the internet. We offer a variety of SSL certificates:
SSL Let's Encrypt Certificate
This certificate is provided 100 % free in combination with world4you products. Let's Encrypt SSL is suitable for private users and associations.
Standard SSL Certificate
The latest encryptions can be found in the Standard SSL certificate. The Standard SSL is well-suited as a corporate certificate and is individually requested for your domain by the certification authority.
Premium SSL Certificate
The Premium SSL certificate is additionally provided with its own IP address. This is required, for example, for shop applications when offering credit card payments.
Wildcard SSL
In addition to SSL certificates, any subdomains (e.g., https://subdomain.homepage.at/) can be encrypted with the Wildcard certificate.
Additional Security Services
WHOIS Privacy Protection
WHOIS entries are data of individual domain holders. When you register a domain at world4you, you are automatically listed as the owner and administrative contact (Admin-C). With GDPR in the EU, the personal data of individuals is no longer visible.
For organizations: Many domains of private organizations are supported by our privacy protection. Your WHOIS admin data can be hidden and protected from misuse. You can activate privacy protection in your customer account.

DNSSEC – Security Extensions for DNS
Domain Name Security Extensions (DNSSEC) are security extensions for the Domain Name System (DNS). If the DNS is attacked by third parties, users of your domain can be redirected to potentially malicious content.
DNSSEC ensures the authenticity and integrity of the data queried in the DNS. This prevents manipulation of this data by third parties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy a domain forever?
No, you always register a domain for a specific period. Typically, the domain is registered in your name for one year, after which you need to renew the registration.
However, thanks to our auto-renewal feature, you don’t have to worry about this as a world4you customer. The contract automatically renews each year unless you actively choose to opt out. This way, you can be sure that no one will snatch your domain name away from you.

Can I download my SSL certificate?
Yes. For each domain you register through world4you, the SSL certificate can be downloaded.
Go to my.world4you.com under Package > Domains > SSL / TLS. Click on the "Download Certificate" button.
If the "Download Certificate" option is not available immediately, the download must still be activated for you. In this case, click on "Request Certificate & Private Key" on the same page. Then the option will appear a little later in your customer area.
After clicking on Download Certificate a dialog will appear where you can confirm the download with your >my.world4you.com password.

Can I install SSL at world4you with an external web server?
If you have a DomainOnly product (a domain without web hosting) active with us, this is generally possible. You have to download your SSL certificate for this and then upload it to the external provider.
The download of your SSL certificate is possible on my.world4you.com under Package > Domains > SSL/TLS.
How the subsequent upload of the certificate to the external provider works varies greatly from provider to provider: Since we do not have access to the administration of your external server, we can unfortunately not make any settings for you or offer any assistance. Most of the time it is not easy – besides some other features – to get SSL certificates if you use an external web server. For this reason, we usually recommend – of course only if the web project allows it – to combine domain and webspace at world4you.
In order to be able to help you in the best possible way, we recommend that you reset the DNS records to the default. This way you will use the web servers of world4you again. You can restore the default values on my.world4you.com under Package > Domains > DNS.
