Is Namecheap good?
| The WHOIS database is essentially a collection of information, such as your name, your address, email address, phone number that registrars publish once you purchase. It's just like a traditional phone book and these information remain in public access.
Some registrars like Namecheap, GoDaddy allow you to get this WHOIS Protection - Privacy - when you buy a domain.
This removes that information from public view and keeps your contact info private, thus you are getting countless advantages like:
- Hiding your physical Location: imagine you are running an E-commerce shop and it becomes popular, you don't really want people showing up at your house directly to buy items
- You control your point of contact: may be you want your customers to visit you at your office rather than your private home address, same for email and phone.
- You reduce Identity theft: people might use your public available information to create accounts in your or even try to gain control of your website
- You keep your professional lifestyle separate from your personal lifestyle
and many more.
Currently Namecheap is offering WHOIS Protection for free!
Never forget that the Internet is a Digital Jungle! So always keep your information Secure! |
