• What is ID Protect?
- ID Protect is a service that hides your private information from being displayed
publicly in a global database that is frequently used by spammers and data miners
to bombard unprotected people with unsolicited advertisements and scams.
- ID Protect can be used on any domain registration from one of the following TLDs:
COM, NET, ORG, INFO, BIZ, PRO, TV, CC, ME, ASIA, CM
• Why is it necessary to add ID Protect to every domain I register?
- Every domain registration is required to have accurate contact information (WHOIS
data) associated with it. Data miners crawl the public WHOIS database for this information
and sell it to marketing firms and advertising agencies, which can result in both
spam and junk mail to your home. ID Protect hides your accurate contact information
and stores it in a secure location, protecting your personal information without
risking the suspension of the domain’s registration.
• How does it work?
- ID Protect takes your unprotected, personal information and shields it from the
public so that they only see the anonymous information:
• What are the benefits of ID Protect?
- Other WHOIS masking products only falsify your WHOIS records which can jeopardize
your domain registration. ID Protect secures your private information by storing
it in a trusted 3rd party data vault, and is completely complaint with ICANN (ICANN
is the governing body of Internet rules and regulations).
- ID Protect forwards legitimate emails to your real email address, but keeps spammers
and data miners away.
Without ID Protect, anyone can find your personal contact information including
your home address. ID Protect hides this information while protecting your personal
address from getting into the wrong hands.
