Terms of Use
Did you know that when you register a domain name, your
personal contact information such as name, address, email
address, and even phone number are made freely available to
anyone who wants to see it? That's right. Your personal
information is exposed 24 hours a day, everyday, to anyone,
anywhere.
ICANN, the international
governing body for domain names, requires every Domain
Registrar to maintain a publicly accessible "WHOIS" database
displaying all contact information for all domain names
registered. Failure to provide complete or accurate such
information could result in the deletion of your domain name
from the Domain Registry. (See
more details here)
The good news is, you can now utilize our Whois Proof's
whois privacy service to protect your personal information
from being exposed to the public. A domain name protected
with the Whois Proof service can shield you from:
 |
Email spams |
|
|
Identity theft or
fraud |
|
|
Data mining
|
|
|
Stalkers or harassers
|
|
|
And more… |
Whois Proof works in the similar way as having your phone
number "unlisted": it prevents people from gaining access to
your address, phone number and other private information.
Here's how the Whois Proof service works:
- Protects your private
information
Whois Proof insures that your private contact
information is not exposed and remained anonymous. It is held in
confidentiality and protected by our Whois Proof
Service. Our contact information is displayed to provide
you with the highest level of protection against
spammers and identity theft.
- Dynamic email system which
stops spammers dead in their tracks
One of the common tactics used by spammers is
to harvest the email address from the whois information
of your domain and then use it for spamming purposes and
redistributing it to marketing firms. Your email address
can stay on file with various spammers and marketing
firms for years. With our Whois Proof system, the
visible whois email address of your domain name is
changing regularly, so while it may be harvested by the
spammers, it would no longer work by the time they begin
to use it. In the mean time, all emails received on the
latest Whois Proof randomly generated email address for
your whois information will be forwarded to your real
email address on file so you will continue to receive
important information regarding your domain.
- Offering you complete
control
You retain full legal ownership and control
over your domain name. You can sell, renew, transfer and
change settings to your domain name just the same as
before. Your domain panel account provides you real-time
access to easily manage your domain name.
