Question:
How do I use HostSite's private registration feature
to protect my WHOIS contact from showing up. |
You can easily edit and change the ownership or
WHOIS contact information for your domain
within seconds from inside
Account Manager.
Please note: By default, the PrivateWhois setting is
set to
'protect email address' enabled.
This means when you update the WHOIS, we store a
copy of your real email address
for only us to know, while we submitting to
the actual WHOIS database our own email address
which will be displayed as:
email-protected-by@private-whois.com
We do this to protect you against spammers who
extract the WHOIS database
for email addresses. An extraction of the WHOIS for
email address will only yield them
our
email-protected-by@private-whois.com
email address, which is of no use to them.
If someone wants to contact you, the domain owner,
regarding your domain name,
they will have to message you through our website
at:
http://PrivateWhois.com
Ever wondered where spammer get your email address?
Most people don't realize that whenever they
register a domain name,
their email address is listed in the WHOIS and open
for spammers to harvest.
However, our PrivateWhois feature helps put an end
to this.
If you like how our PrivateWhois feature is
protecting you from spam,
please help other people, by letting them know how
to protect themselves.

address, you must enable the "address protection"
feature for your domain. To do this.
