Daily Backups
All data on the Heirloom Registry is backed up nightly.

256-bit enabled SSL.
SSL is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, a widely used technology that creates an encrypted connection between the Web server that houses the Heirloom Registry and our visitors' web browsers. It allows for private information to be transmitted without the problems of eavesdropping, data tampering, or message forgery. The use of an SSL certificate on a website is usually indicated by a padlock icon in web browsers but it can also be indicated by a green address bar or some other means depending on your browser type. The URL of an SSL-secured Websites is also indicated by a prefix that begins with “https://” instead of the standard “http://”

In addition to encrypting data exchanges with 256-bit SSL (which is really strong, by the way), we have also employed the reputable security technology firm, Sitelock whose 360-degree scanning technology features:

• Daily Malware Scan (and Automatic SMART Removal)
• Network Scan checks the thousands of ports on our server to make sure only the appropriate ones are open for our server type.
