As the Internet expands, thousands of new domain names are purchased every single day. When a domain name is purchased, personal information including email addresses are collected by various registrars. Many people are concerned about the safety and security of information passed through the Internet in the forms of online payments and registrations. What many don't realize, however, is that email addresses and other pieces of personal information create a Whois ID, and the Whois ID for your domain name is public information.
Because the Whois ID is public information, and because there are malicious individuals who abuse others on the Internet, personal information like email addresses, names, and addresses are made readily available to anyone who performs a Whois search with your domain name. This leaves the person who purchased the domain name vulnerable to identify theft, data mining, name hi-jacking, spam attacks, and more.
ID Protection keeps your private and personal information locked. Not a single Internet user will have access to that information, and you will not be vulnerable to identity theft, data mining, name hi-jacking, and spam attacks.
As you are purchasing a domain name through CloudAccess.net, you can elect to have ID Protection included with your purchase as illustrated in the screenshot below.
Simply check the box for ID Protection, and your personal information will be invisible to all Internet users every hour of every day for the entire calendar year. If already own a domain name and you'd like to purchase ID Protection, please submit a support ticket through your Cloud Control Panel™(CCP). Be sure to submit the ticket to the "Domain Name Change" department. Fill out the ticket information thoroughly. Let us know that you'd like to purchase additional ID Protection and which domain you'd like protected. Submit the ticket and our team will take care of the rest.
