Q) How does Whois Proof Service help reduce spam?
A) Due to the dynamic email system used on the Whois Proof Service, your visible email address is changing at regular interval, so while it is being harvested and redistributed, it will change and the previous address will no longer work for the spammer by the time they use it. Furthermore, advanced filtering system is being utilized to detect and filter off any virus-infected of spams sent to your email address.

Q) What if I need to prove ownership of a domain?
A) You have the ability to temporarily modify the contact information of your domain through your domain panel account at any time. You may ask the verifying party to confirm the updated whois information of your domain after that. Your domain name will be reverted back to the Whois Proof contact information again on the next update. If you need to disable the Whois Proof Service on your domain, please contact us about it.

Q) What if someone sends something to the mailing address?
A) You must notify us in advance if you are expecting to receive any mails to the Whois Proof mailing address. Mails received without any advance notification will be discarded automatically. Once notified, we can forward such mails to your real mailing address. However, you will have to bear the full cost of the mailing.

Q) Why can't I use this service with my .US domain name?
A) The .US Registry has the following requirement in their policy:

"The United States Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration ("NTIA") has recently completed its review of "proxy" or anonymous domain registration services by .us Accredited Registrars. At the conclusion of this review, NTIA directed NeuStar to phase out the offering of such services by Registrars or by any of its partners or resellers and to ensure that complete and accurate WHOIS data is provided for any existing registrations in .us."

We are required to comply with such policy as domain registrar. Therefore, we will prohibit the offering of the Whois Proof Service to .US domain names.
