Dynamic data management system stops spammers dead in their tracks.

Without ID Protect, spammers can obtain your email and contact information 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. Check out the difference between an unprotected and protected domain registration.

How does ID Protect help reduce spam?

Due to IWS Hosting/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 or simply requesting it be turned off by IWS Hosting. 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 or request it be turned 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.

*ID Protect cannot be used with .us domains
