Domain Name Questions
As a domain name owner you are required to provide contact information so that other Internet users can contact you if needed. This information is often referred to as the WHOIS information.
Unfortunately this information is regularly used to send unsolicited emails (spam) or could be used by competitors or other third parties to find out your address and contact information.
The good news is that we are able to protect this information for you using our domain name privacy service. HostCow will protect your real identity in the domain WHOIS databases FREE by providing generic contact information using other domain name Information. |

How does ID Protect help reduce spam? |
A |
|
Due to our partners 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 secures and maintains your real email address on file so you receive important information regarding your domain. |
Q |
2 |
What if I need to prove ownership of a domain? |
A |
|
We have the ability to temporarily disable the ID Protect service through the domain control panel. We can turn off the service and then ask the verifying party to confirm whois registration details. Once complete, we can then turn the ID Protect service back on through the domain control panel. |

What if someone sends something to the mailing address? |
A |
|
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 ID Protection Services as a general mail forwarding service. |

Why can't I use this service with my .us name? |
A |

.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 ID Protect or similar services to .US registrations. This policy ONLY applies to .US registrations. |
Dynamic data management system stops spammers dead in their tracks.
Without ID Protect, spammers can obtain your email and contact information 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. Check out the difference between an unprotected and protected domain registration.
Using our domain privacy product does not impact the ownership of your domain name.
We would recommend all businesses protect their online identity.
Our Guarantee
ID Protection, also known as ID Protect, or WHOIS Protection, guarantees that your private contact information is kept invisible 24/7/365 to all Internet users.
