WHOIS Privacy Services
Looking to Protect Your Company Information?
Because domain registrars and registries are required to maintain and provide
a searchable, public database of domain registrations, called WHOIS,
there is easily accessible contact information published on the Web which
presents companies who register domain names with a privacy challenge. Many
WHOIS database records contain information about the registrant, administrative
contact, technical contact, and billing contact for a domain in addition
to the technical information such as DNS servers and IP addresses associated
with a name. In order to minimize emails from spammers and/or phone
calls from marketers who mine WHOIS to capture your contact information,
we offer multiple WHOIS privacy options to protect the identity of our customers
and the associated contact information for domains registered with Safenames.
WHOIS privacy is not only a privacy feature; it can be a security feature.
Internet criminals can use your WHOIS contact information as part of
phishing attempts, domain hijacking attempts, or other illegal online
activities. Safenames' WHOIS privacy services can minimize the security
risks to your company.
Free WHOIS Privacy
The Safenames Domain Management Control Panel, the IDP, allows customers
to configure their account so that only the contact data of the master
account appears in the WHOIS contact fields. Customers may use their
corporate headquarters information for all domains even though their
branch offices and subsidiary companies registered the domain and may
manage the domains. Using the Free Whois Privacy option, your company
remains listed as the legal registrant and you publish a single address,
phone number and email for all registered domains.
Standard WHOIS Privacy
"Your WHOIS Privacy" is an add-on service offered by Safenames
that fully masks the WHOIS contact data. The registrant will be listed
as "Your WHOIS Privacy" and the standard WHOIS contact information associated
with the domain will be that of the "Your WHOIS Privacy" entity. The
Standard WHOIS is privacy option is ideal for customers who want to avoid
being spammed or called by a telemarketer as a result of WHOIS mining.
Custom WHOIS Privacy
For sensitive and unique domain registration applications, Safenames
is able to register a new company that includes a dedicated phone
number, e-mail address and postal address just for you. Many times when
a new product or service is being launched or even a new company is being
formed, it is critical that domains associated with the new activity
be registered with anonymity. Safenames can also assist to mask the DNS
servers prior to launch and assist customers. Upon request, Safenames
will sign non-disclosure agreements and assign sensitive projects to
only those personnel required to perform the necessary tasks. The Custom
WHOIS Privacy Service is the right solution to give your company complete
privacy and anonymity.
