All domain names ‘domain name record’ is a public record. All it requires is to use any “Whois” service to look up a domain name record on a domain name you own. This can be a free marketing source for many Marketing Services. In fact, there are services that harvest your personal information off of the Public Whois Record and sell to marketing Firms.

Without ID Protection all of your contact information is public and exposes your name, address, email and phone number to marketing firms, scammers, spammers, and other types of fraudsters.
Personal use of ID Privacy Protection – We recommend using ID Protection on all personal domain names that will allow them (see a list of domains below that do not allow ID Protection).
Business use of ID Protection – We recommend using ID Protection even on your business domain names to protect your information from being easily harvested. However if you plan on using ID Protection on your business domain name make sure to have a very good about us or contact us page, that has more than just a contact email address and form. We suggest you supply a phone number and regular mailing address and other means of contacting to build that trust factor with your internet customers.
