Global Block

Global Block is a new system for brand owners to block registrations across a set number of domain extensions. This new product is now offered by the Brand Safety Alliance, a GoDaddy company, in partnership with TLD registries and backend operators. The block currently covers over 550+ extensions, including new gTLDs, ccTLDs and web3 extensions. You can register a GlobalBlock or GlobalBlock+ service for a term of either 1, 2 or 3 years. For existing DPML Block holders the registry offers an additional Bridge Service that will cover extensions that are not part of the DPML block only. If you would like to know more about this Blocking mechanism please contact your Client Service Partner or Strategic Account Manager.
