What is the ID protection addon for domains?

ID protection (also known as WHOIS protection) is an addon for domain registrations that hides your personal contact information from the public WHOIS database.

Instead of your information being public, our ID protection company is used as the public contact for your domain. Spammers are known to collect contact information from new domain registrations so this addon helps prevent that.

The ID protection addon is $2.00/year and you can cancel it at any time.
