Use of ID Protection

BREWER · #1 (**permalink**) 02-05-11, 09:44 AM

I want to start a couple of websites this year and wish to register a couple of domain names for that. But I have heard something called as ID Protection for domain names. What is it and what is the use of having this for your domain name. Can someone please explain me ?

ID protect ensures that your private contact information is not exposed to everyone. It is held in confidentiality and protected by the Domain Privacy Protection Service. Their contact information is displayed to provide you with the highest level of protection against spammers and identity theft. This is a important option if a user wants to keep his contact details hided from others.

Examples might be illegal immigrants, people hiding from creditors or other individuals, or those who simply want to become "anonymous" for personal reasons.This is a important option if a user wants to keep his contact details hided from others.
