 ID Protect - Shield Your Identity
Did you know that your name, email, and phone number are made publically available within the WhoIs database when you register any domain name? Any spammers, solicitors and other prying eyes can find your personal information online, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Whenever domains are registered, ICANN requires that the registrant's (the person registering the domain) contact details are made public in the Whois database. This is all well and good for large mega-corporations - unfortunately, spammers trawl thru the Whois database, collecting phone numbers, addresses and email accounts, which they then spam mercilessly!

ID Protect protects your information, by listing a trusted Domain Privacy Protection Service on the WHOIS database, who forwards all communication to you.

ID Protect FAQs
How does ID Protect help reduce spam?
Due to eNom's 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 (an affiliate of eNom.com) secures and maintains your real email address on file so you receive important information regarding your domain.
What if I need to prove ownership of a domain?
You have the ability to temporarily disable the ID Protect service through your domain control panel. Turn off the service and then ask the verifying party to confirm whois registration details at http://www.enom.com/domains/whois.asp. Once complete, you may turn the ID Protect service back on through your domain control panel.
What if someone sends something to the mailing address?
For communications received which does not appear to be unsolicited commercial mail, The Domain Privacy Protection Service (an affiliate of eNom.com) 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 IDP Services as a general mail forwarding service.
