Private Domain Registration
by bodHOST Starting at $0.83/mo only

Domain ID Protection, also known as WHOIS privacy, is a service provided by domain registrars that allow domain owners to keep their personal information hidden from the public WHOIS database. When you register a domain, your name, address, email address, and phone number are required to be listed in the public WHOIS database, which can make this information available to anyone who searches for your domain. This can lead to unsolicited emails, phone calls, and even identity theft. With Domain ID Protection, your personal information is replaced with generic contact information, so your identity is protected.

Having Domain ID Protection is crucial in today's digital age, where online security threats are prevalent. Without this service, your personal information can be easily accessed by cybercriminals who can use it for malicious purposes such as identity theft, spamming, and phishing. By enabling Domain ID Protection, you can safeguard your personal information and prevent unwanted solicitations, which can save you time, money, and frustration. Additionally, having your personal information protected can enhance your online privacy and give you peace of mind knowing that your identity is safe.

With bodHOST's Domain ID Protection service, your personal information is replaced with anonymous contact details in the public WHOIS database. When someone performs a WHOIS lookup on your domain, the anonymous contact details provided by the Private Domain Registration service are displayed instead of your personal information.

This means that your name, address, phone number, and email address are not visible to the public, and your privacy is protected. Any inquiries or messages sent through the anonymous contact details are automatically forwarded to the email address you provide, allowing you to stay in control of your domain while keeping your personal information private.

Additionally, bodHOST's Domain ID Protection service includes advanced spam filtering, which helps prevent spam and other unwanted messages from reaching your inbox. This service provides an added layer of security and peace of mind for domain owners who want to keep their personal information safe.

Domain ID Protection is typically an additional cost when registering a domain. While some domain registrars may include it as part of their services, many charge a separate fee for this service. The cost of Private Domain Registration varies depending on the registrar and the type of domain you are registering. It's important to check with your domain registrar to see if they offer Domain ID Protection and what the associated costs are. Keep in mind that the added cost of Domain ID Protection is usually minimal compared to the benefits of keeping your personal information private and protected.
