whois protection - protect your personal information
Did you know that, according to the rules and regulations established by the Global Registry, every domain name owner in the world is required to disclose their coordinates; including their name, address, telephone number and email address? This information is stored in a public-access database, commonly referred to as the Whois database, where your personal information is made available for the entire world to see. Using this source of readily available information, dubious characters and organisations, such as identity theft experts and professional telemarketers, can obtain your personal information. Is there anything you can do? Yes. Use Whois Protection from Aztus! HOW DOES IT WORK? The Aztus Whois Protection system replaces your confidential coordinates with generic data, thus preventing the actual information from being displayed and protecting your identity. In this way, the system ensures that your personal coordinates are not used to send you unsolicited emails or any other form of nuisance messaging, and that they are protected from use by thieves, fraudsters and others of their ilk. Be wary of illegal protection techniques Though on the surface it might seem like the use of fictitious coordinates for the domain name database would be an innovative, and obviously inexpensive, alternative to the Aztus Whois Protection system, keep in mind that, according to Global Registry rules and regulations, the use of "bogus" data is considered illegal. If the registry discovers that fictitious information was used to assign your domain, your domain name may be revoked without a refund. What's more, if you configure your account using bogus coordinates, we will not be able contact you in the event of a problem with your domain or when the time comes to renew your domain name. And, once again, you risk losing your domain. By entering bogus data, you also increase the risk of having your domain name stolen as it is easier for a thief to assume your identity when the coordinates are not valid. By maintaining the domain name's official coordinates (i.e. your personal information) in a parallel database, the Aztus Whois Protection system is the only safe and legal way to protect your private life. The official coordinates are stored in a parallel system and are never displayed, providing you with 100% protection of your privacy. Yet, should a problem occur, we will have the ability to contact you and to prove that you are the rightful domain owner, if required. With the Aztus Whois Protection system, you will still be the official owner of your domain and, via our domain name management interface, will have complete control of your domain name. The interface may be used at any time to change your coordinates or DNS information. Whois Protection is currently available for the following extensions: .COM, .NET, .ORG, .INFO, .BIZ, .CC .TV and .NAME As required, should you need to display your actual coordinates in order to prove your identity to a client, supplier or other entity (for example), Whois Protection may be disabled on a permanent or temporary basis.
