when you buy domains from hostpaddy.com

you are presented with some options at the point of purchase. you would see the option to :

1. add ID protection
2. DNS management
3. We offer Registrar lock with each domain to prevent unauthorized actions on domains hosted with us

We assume you know at this point what it means to buy or register a  new domain. if you have been to our domain page, you’ll see an option for ID protection. now let’s put it in layman’s terms.

When a domain name is registered, some information (such as personal/business) is displayed on the whois lookup as per regulatory requirements. Depending on the domain name extension, different types of information is displayed to those conducting a lookup.

Where gTLD registrations such as .com, .net and .org are concerned, personal contact information such as name, address, email address and phone number must be supplied as part of the registration process and this is displayed on the whois database for all to see. It is a regulatory requirement that the information supplied on the domain name registration is valid to allow for contact to be made via email, but this information can be hidden by private proxy information.

ID Protection allows you to protect your identity and reduce spam from scammers scraping whois databases; it does this by replacing your information with generic name and address details. The final piece of the puzzle is a hidden email address which forwards onto your real email address; this means they won’t see your real email address, but you will see emails sent regarding your domain name.

Reseller hosting is a form of web hosting wherein the account owner has the ability to use his or her allotted hard drivespace and bandwidth to host websites on behalf of third parties. The reseller purchases the host’s services wholesale and then sells them to customers, possibly for a profit. A certain portion of hard drive space and bandwidth is allocated to the reseller account. The reseller may rent a dedicated server from a hosting company, or resell shared hosting services. In the latter case, the reseller is simply given the permission to sell a certain amount of disk space and bandwidth to their own customers without renting a server from a web hosting company they signed for a reseller account with.
