How Does WhoisGuard™ Work?
We place our information in public whois so that your information is not available to spammers. We don't cut off legitimate contacts by passing on valid mail and emails.When protection is turned on (can be turned off easily) our email and address shows up. When some one sends an email to your uniquely generated xyz.protect@whoisguard.com address, we will in-turn forward it your real email address which you specify.
