WhoisGuard
With HostYD, Privacy Protection is FREE for everyone, forever!
What is WhoisGuard?
Everytime you register a domain, your personal information is put out there in the public for the world to see – your name, address, phone, email on the WHOIS Database. This is a public data base run by ICANN, the company who controls all the domain names in the world.
Our Whois Privacy replaces YOUR personal information on the WHOIS Database with our company information – this way hackers are blind to who the owner is and how to contact them, finding our information instead of yours.
Partnering with PrivacyGuardian.org, we are able to offer complete protection for your information while complying with ICANN requirements.
Are you ready to get your personal or professional domain name? Yes I am!
