Did you know that current domain regulations require
that your private contact information be included in a publicly accessible
database known as Whois? This means that your private information is displayed
and made available to anyone that wants to see it, 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year. |

ID Protect: Because your privacy is important
ID protect works in the same way as having your
phone number "unlisted": it prevents people from gaining access to your address,
phone number and other private information. |

How ID Protect Works
Shields your Private Information
ID protect insures that your private contact
information is not exposed. It is held in confidentiality and protected by the
Domain Privacy Protection Service. Their 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
Without ID Protect, spammers can
obtain your email address from harvesting and then use it for
spamming purposes and redistribution to marketing firms. Your email
address can stay on file with various spammers and marketing firms
for years. Due to VodaHost's dynamic email system, the visible email
address is constantly changing, so while it is being harvested and
redistributed, it will change and the previous address will no
longer work for the spammer. The Domain Privacy Protection Service
secures and maintains your real email address on file so you 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 control panel provides you
real-time access to easily manage your domain name. |

ID Protect FAQ (Frequently
Asked Questions) |
|
|
|
How does ID Protect help
reduce spam?
Due to VodaHost's dynamic email system, your visible email address is constantly
changing, so while it is being harvested and redistributed, it will change and
the previous address will no longer work for the spammer. The Domain Privacy
Protection Service (an affiliate of eNom.com) secures and maintains your real
email address on file so you receive important information regarding your
domain.
What if I need to prove ownership of a domain?
You have the ability to temporarily disable the ID Protect service by contact
our support department.
What if someone sends something to the mailing address?
For communications received which does not appear to be unsolicited commercial
mail, The Domain Privacy Protection Service (may either forward such
communication to you or may attempt to communicate to you a scanned copy of a
page of the communication. The Service may elect to not forward to you
communications which appear to be unsolicited, or communications which appear to
be from your having used the IDP Services as a general mail forwarding service.
Why can't I use this service with my .us name?
.US has made a dramatic change in their policy saying (in part):
"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."
Although we disagree with this policy, we will comply and will require our
resellers and sub-resellers to make the necessary changes. Therefore, we will
prohibit the offering of VodaHost's ID Protect or similar services to .US
registrations. This policy ONLY applies to .US registrations. |
