 ID PROTECT
FAQ
|
How does ID Protect help reduce spam?
Due to
Globalhost'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 Globalhost.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. Turn off the service and then ask the verifying
party to confirm whois registration details at
http://www.Globalhost.com/login.html. Once complete, you may
turn the ID Protect service 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 Globalhost.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.
Why can't I use this service with my .us
name?
.US has made a dramatic change in their policy
saying (in part):
"The United States Department of
Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information
Administration ("NTIA") has recently completed its review of
"proxy" or anonymous domain registration services by .us
Accredited Registrars. At the conclusion of this review, NTIA
directed NeuStar to phase out the offering of such services by
Registrars or by any of its partners or resellers and to
ensure that complete and accurate WHOIS data is provided for
any existing registrations in .us."
Although we
disagree with this policy, we will comply and will require our
resellers and sub-resellers to make the necessary changes.
Therefore, we will prohibit the offering of Globalhost's ID Protect
or similar services to .US registrations. This policy ONLY
applies to .US registrations.
The service will continue
to be provided for existing .US ID protect customers until
their ID protect expiration date or January 26, 2006,
whichever comes first.
