When you purchase and enable WhoisGuard on your domain, netkl.com will make the following changes in public WHOIS:

a) replace your postal address
b) replace your phone number
c) replace your email address with a uniquely generated 'xyz.protect@whoisguard.com'.

So, every email that is sent to the whoisguard address is forwarded to an email of your choice.

How to check the public information of WHOIS (www.whois.net):

a) visit the website
b) key in the domain at whois lookup and click Go.

But how to protect your identity online? When you purchase a domain name at netkl.com (I'm not sure now), the free WhoisGuard protection is given for first year.

There after each domain needs to pay MYR 10 in order to continue.

If you got more than 10 domains, then it makes more cost effective to get a PO Box address instead.

For at Namecheap (WhoisGuard Domain Privacy Protection).

With PO Box, you can hide your real address from the spammer.

Box address facility is available in all major post offices which costs about MYR 50 per year.
