Hey there, domain owners!

Exciting news! Picture this: a superhero for your brand, a guardian shielding it from the chaos of domain registrations. Enter GlobalBlock, your ultimate brand protection service from the Brand Safety Alliance.

In the vast digital realm, a domain blocking service is your brand's fortress, a firm declaration of "Hands-off, this is mine!" From the early days of .xxx and DMPL to the present comprehensive shield of Adultblock, these services have evolved. They're the safeguards that keep your brand secure without the headache of registering every conceivable domain.

What is GlobalBlock?

GlobalBlock isn't just a service; it's a superhero cape for your brand. It's the world's first unified domain name blocking service, instantly securing your brand across hundreds of extensions simultaneously. Focus? "Exact matches" - ensuring your brand stays yours and yours alone.

We get that every brand is unique. That's why we offer two flavors of protection:

  • GlobalBlock: Instant exact match coverage across hundreds of extensions.
  • GlobalBlock +: Amped-up protection, blocking look-alike variations used in scams. Unlimited main labels and homoglyph confusables - consider your brand on lockdown.

GlobalBlock is flexible. It recognizes that legal rights vary across countries and classes. Multiple GlobalBlocks for the same brand can coexist, but unblocking needs approval from all relevant owners.

How does GlobalBlock work?

Similar to DPML and Adultblock, GlobalBlock allows users to submit trademarks and terms related to adult content to a centralized registry. The registry then blocks the registration of domain names containing these terms across various TLDs through specialized DNS configurations.

What are the benefits of using GlobalBlock?

  1. Global Coverage: From Legacy gTLDs to new gTLDs and ccTLDs, we've got 560+ extensions worldwide. Buy early, get protection in new extensions without extra charges until renewal.
  2. Direct Protection: Real-time block application with no hoops for registrants. Verify via Whois lookup and block domains that were once too pricey or tricky to register.
  3. Cost Reduction: Cheaper than individual registrations, and no need to babysit each domain. No more legal battles or aftermarket acquisitions - we've got it covered.
  4. Priority AutoCatch: We're always on the lookout for squatters. If they drop the ball, we catch it for you, free of charge.
  5. Domain Unblocking: Need a domain for a campaign? Move them in and out of your block whenever the mood strikes.


Who is eligible?

  • Trademark holders with a valid Signed Mark Data (SMD) file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH).
  • An active nationally or regionally registered trademark.
  • Unregistered trademark: A mark created by a business or individual to signify or distinguish a product or service.
