When you purchase a domain name you are requested to submit your personal information such as your name, address, phone number, etc. This information is publicly available to everyone browsing the internet via the whois registries and a lot of people prefer to have this hidden. You have the option to hide your personal information in the whois registries by purchasing a Domain Privacy (ID Protection) service. Additional benefits of applying domain privacy are as follows:
- Your email address will be hidden, which means that your email cannot be added to spam lists and bombarded with spam.
- You will able to hide any details your competitors may use to compromise your business.
- You will feel safe and secure knowing that your personal information is not accessible.
- To take advantage of this service, please proceed to your Client Area.
- Click on Domains -> My Domains. This will take you to a page with a table section showing all your domains with us.
- On the right side of the table section, you will notice a wrench button. Please click on it to go to the domain management page.
-
In the left-hand menu, click Privacy Protection.
-
You’ll see the ID Protection section there. If ID Protection was purchased when the domain was registered, it will already be enabled. Otherwise, it will appear as an optional add-on, and you need to click the Buy Now button to purchase it.
This action will redirect you to the checkout page where you can proceed with the payment for the service. Once the order is submitted, the ID Protection service will be immediately activated for the corresponding domain name.
