Domain Protect+ keeps personal info hidden from public view, which helps secure private data from identity theft and domain-related spam. Instead of displaying your personal information in the WHOIS database for all to see, our partner, Domains By Proxy®, will replace it with its own. The domain will belong to you — except now, you and Domains By Proxy® will be the only ones who know it.
Hide your personal information, protect your domain and website.
Our chosen Whois privacy service provider Withheld for Privacy, hides your contact details and replaces them with anonymized information. This means you’ll stay safe from unsolicited phone calls, junk mail, and identity theft. Importantly, your contact information is not required by our privacy service provider, keeping it safe and secure with us. If someone were to look up your domain name, they will see anonymous domain registration information just like in the example below.
With Domain Privacy, you maintain full control and ownership of your domain name, and your personal information will not be made public. Domain Privacy helps to prevent identity theft, unwanted spam, and the sale of your personal information. Do not worry, you can still be contacted by third parties, if need be, without revealing your personal info to the public.
What is even more dangerous is when other companies engage in something called ‘data scraping’ to collect personal data from publicly available sources like WHOIS to sell it to third parties.
With unwanted sales calls you can also get tons of spam emails by leaving your personal data exposed. Every spammer out there knows how to find personal data on public directories like Whois.
When information about your business is out there in the digital space, it is always vulnerable. If it falls into the wrong hands, it can create problems like domain hacking.
