Domain Registration Questions

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.
