2. Dynamic data management system stops spammers dead in their tracks.
Without ID Protect, spammers can obtain your email and contact information and then use it for spamming purposes and redistribution to marketing firms. Your email address can stay on file with various spammers and marketing firms for years. Check out the difference between an unprotected and protected domain registration.
3. Frequently Asked Questions
How does ID Protect help reduce spam?
Due to eNom's dynamic email system, your visible email address is constantly changing, so while it is being harvested and redistributed, it will change and the previous address will no longer work for the spammer. The Domain Privacy Protection Service (an affiliate of eNom.com) secures and maintains your real email address on file so you receive important information regarding your domain.
What if I need to prove ownership of a domain?
You have the ability to temporarily disable the ID Protect service through your domain control panel. Turn off the service and then ask the verifying party to confirm whois registration details at http://www.enom.com/domains/whois.asp. Once complete, you may turn the ID Protect service back on through your domain control panel.
What if someone sends something to the mailing address?
For communications received which does not appear to be unsolicited commercial mail, The Domain Privacy Protection Service (an affiliate of eNom.com) may either forward such communication to you or may attempt to communicate to you a scanned copy of a page of the communication. The Service may elect to not forward to you communications which appear to be unsolicited, or communications which appear to be from your having used the IDP Services as a general mail forwarding service.
Why can't I use this service with my .us name?
.US has made a dramatic change in their policy saying (in part):
"The United States Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration ("NTIA") has recently completed its review of "proxy" or anonymous domain registration services by .us Accredited Registrars. At the conclusion of this review, NTIA directed NeuStar to phase out the offering of such services by Registrars or by any of its partners or resellers and to ensure that complete and accurate WHOIS data is provided for any existing registrations in .us."
Although we disagree with this policy, we will comply and will require our resellers and sub-resellers to make the necessary changes. Therefore, we will prohibit the offering of eNom's ID Protect or similar services to .US registrations. This policy ONLY applies to .US registrations.
The service will continue to be provided for existing .US ID protect customers until their ID protect expiration date or January 26, 2006, whichever comes first.
How does reselling the VeriSign Trust Seal help my domain resale business?
Many small businesses struggle to draw traffic to their Web sites and to generate the confidence to buy, click, and sign in online. The VeriSign Trust Seal shows visitors that the web site has been verified by the leader in online trust and gives them the confidence to click. By reselling the VeriSign Trust Seal, you can differentiate your service, reduce customer churn, and increase profits.
Who is the target customer for the VeriSign Trust Seal?
Any web site or merchant that needs visitors to trust their site, but does not need the security of SSL, is an ideal customer. Examples:
- Ecommerce: The VeriSign Trust Seal is perfect for online retailers that outsource their payment or shopping cart. Your customers can post the VeriSign Trust Seal to give their customers the confidence to buy online.
- Publishers: The VeriSign Trust Seal helps publishers establish credibility, so their click-throughs increase.
- Small business owners: The VeriSign Trust Seal helps small business owners bring that same level of trust to their web site that they've built in their neighborhood.
What is the VeriSign Trust Seal?
The VeriSign Trust Seal helps businesses establish credibility online. When a web site displays the VeriSign Trust Seal, it shows that VeriSign has verified the identity of the web site and its owners. The seal also means that the web site has passed VeriSign's daily malware scan so visitors can use the site with confidence.
How does the VeriSign Trust Seal reassure visitors?
Growing concerns about fake sites, viruses, and identity theft have made consumers reluctant to do business with web sites they don't know and brands that are not familiar to them. As a result, small businesses struggle to draw traffic to their web sites and to generate the confidence to buy, click, and sign in online. The VeriSign Trust Seal tells web site visitors that the most trusted brand on the internet has verified the site's identity and that the site has passed the VeriSign malware scan.
How is the VeriSign Trust Seal different from other business seals?
The VeriSign Trust Seal is the only seal backed by the most trusted security brand on the Internet (US Brand Tracker Survey 2009). On average, the VeriSign seal is displayed 175 million times a day on more than 90,000 web sites in 160 countries. The VeriSign seal has an 86% recognition rate among consumers (US Brand Tracker Survey 2009). In fact, 97 of the 100 largest SSL-using banks in the world, 87% of the largest ecommerce sites in North America and 93% of the Fortune 500 rely on VeriSign (including VeriSign, its subsidiaries and affiliates) to secure their web sites. As the brand trusted by major banks and retailers, the VeriSign seal helps build confidence on all types of web sites.
Can the VeriSign Trust Seal really help increase online sales?
Yes. Customer case studies have shown an average increase in transactions of 24% (ranging between 10% and 36%) when web sites display the VeriSign Trust Seal. Sites that display the VeriSign Trust Seal on their pages, and use an SSL certificate during checkout, maximize customer retention and purchase completion.
Can the VeriSign seal help increase traffic from search engines?
The VeriSign Trust Seal includes Seal-in-Search, which identifies VeriSign trusted sites and display the VeriSign seal next to search results in enabled browsers. To see how the VeriSign Trust Seal is displayed in search results, download the free AVG LinkScanner.
In addition, a daily malware scan helps reduce the risk of becoming blacklisted by search engines. No matter how much search optimization and advertising, if a site is blacklisted, it will not be displayed in search results and viewing may be blocked by some browsers.
What is malware?
Malware is a general term for malicious software and is a growing problem on the Internet. Hackers install malware without your consent by exploiting security weaknesses on your server and gaining access to your web site code. The malware code is not visible or easily detected, and may infect customers' computers when they simply browse your web site. Hackers use it to spread viruses, hijack your computer or steal sensitive data such as credit card numbers or other personal information.
Do I need to be the registrant of the domain name?
The domain name which will be associated with the VeriSign Trust Seal must be legally registered and VeriSign must be able to verify that the Trust Seal applicant either owns the domain name or has exclusive rights to use it.
