	Domain Name WHOIS ~~/ Contact~~ Privacy ~~hides~~ the identity of a domain Registrant when someone does a WHOIS lookup on that Registrant’s domain. The benefit of having WHOIS Privacy is that the Registrant’s identity, including address, phone number, and email address, is shielded from spammers, identity thieves, scammers, and other undesirables. WHOIS privacy is handled through the [https://manage.opensrs.net/ OpenSRS Domain Management Portal].

Our registrar OpenSRS provides Domain Name WHOIS Privacy by default, hiding the identity of a domain Registrant when someone does a WHOIS lookup on that Registrant’s domain.

	Contact Privacy is '''$5.00 per domain''' yearly and is a non-refundable fee~~. Note: This fee from XMission is approximately half of what the other common registrar services charge~~.		Contact Privacy provides slightly more protection but is deemed unnecessary by most customers and costs '''$5.00 per domain''' yearly and is a non-refundable fee.

	You can enable Contact Privacy for a domain at any time. If enabled, it expires at the same time as the domain name. If the domain is set to auto-renew, Contact Privacy also auto-renews (and incurs any associated cost) at the same time.		You can enable Contact Privacy for a domain at any time.

			=Modifying Domain Contact Information=

			Every time Contact information is modified, registered, or transferred; ICANN requires all accredited registrars to verify your new contact details. The XMission Domains system will email you a critical message containing a Subject line containing: "VERIFICATION REQUIRED - ..." The body of the email contains links to the ICANN policy on Contact modifications and a link from the URL "approve.domainadmin.com" which you must follow to approve the changes. As a security measure, if the changes are not approved the domain will be suspended. Suspension means the domain will be prevented from transferring, the contact information will not be updated, and all domain related services which stop working which includes items such as web hosting and email. If you received this message in error or suspect phishing, please notify XMission Support.
