How ID Protect Works

Shields your Private Information

ID protect insures that your private contact information is not exposed. It is held in confidentiality and protected by the Domain Privacy Protection Service. Their contact information is displayed to provide you with the highest level of protection against spammers and identity theft.

Dynamic eMail System which stops spammers dead in their tracks

Without ID Protect, spammers can obtain your email address from harvesting 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. Due to VodaHost's dynamic email system, the 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 secures and maintains your real email address on file so you receive important information regarding your domain.

Offering you complete control

You retain full legal ownership and control over your domain name. You can sell, renew, transfer and change settings to your domain name just the same as before. Your domain control panel provides you real-time access to easily manage your domain name.

A quick question on the ID Protect option

Q1. I think I read on VHD that the cost is $20 per annum (now cant find the price! on their website) - the question is, is this $20 per Domain on the account or per VHD Account? (I suspect the former)

Q2. If I select ID Protect then someone who looks up the domain on whois.sc, what do they see. Do they see anything that indicates that it is my domain (name, address, email, phone number) or does it say something generic which could not identify it as my domain

Q3 . Can I select ID protect for some but not all domains in the VHD account (if the answer to Q1 is that the $20 is per domain)

Thanks as always
