Did you know that when you register a domain name, the contact details you supply are made publicly available using a service called ‘whois‘?
This information is held by the domain registrar companies and is perfectly legal in all countries.As this information is easily accessed by the public it can be a source of SPAM, email marketing and even could be used to try and steal your domain name.
Don’t Panic, help is at hand and it is very easy, all you need to do is login to your Mantis Computing Client Area and from here you can tick the box that says ‘Opt out of whois’ - this is free for .co.uk domains, .com and others do have a small charge of approx £10.
If you want to find out more about this service then please get in touch.
