How does Domain Privacy Protection work?
Shielding your private information
Domain Privacy Protection, or ID Protection, is available on many TLD's such as .com, .net, and .org, and .biz. The domain protected must be registered at 1-2-Wonder in order for protection to be activated.
With domain Privacy Protection, your private contact information is not exposed in the public WHOIS record. It is held in confidentiality and protected by a Domain Privacy Protection Service. Their contact information is displayed instead, to provide you with the highest level of protection against spammers and identity theft.
Domain Privacy Protection stops spammers dead in their tracks
Without Domain Privacy Protection, spammers can obtain your email address by harvesting public WHOIS records, 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. The Domain Privacy Protection Service secures and maintains your real email address on file so you receive important information regarding your domain, while keeping your address hidden from everyone in the WHOIS record.
Offering you complete control
All .com, .net, .info, .biz, and .org domains newly registered, renewed, or transferred to us as of the effective date will automatically have this service included. It is not mandatory to use. You simply have the option of logging in to your domain management interface here at 1-2-Wonder, and you can activate or deactivate your Domain Privacy setting/s at will. You retain full legal ownership and control over your domain name. And you also have complete control of whether to keep your domain whois info private, or allow it to be publicly viewed. You can also still renew or change your contact and other settings as usual. Your domain control panel provides you real-time access to easily manage your domain name.
Disabling Privacy Protection:
If you wish to transfer your domain to another registrar, or purchase or renew a private SSL Certificate, you will need to disable Privacy Protection on the domain so that your ownership of the domain can be confirmed during processing. If we receive a report that the domain has been used for spamming, Privacy Protection will be removed from the domain.
Privacy Protection is not part of domain ownership itself, and cannot be transferred along with a domain. If a domain is transferred away to a different registrar, your registration information will again become public.
