This service allows you to create a protected visualization of your email address on a website using an image.
To request an id, go to the following URL using your email address:
http://www.digitalpeer.com/request/nos_request.php?email=youremail@domain.com
To display the image on your website, use the following img tag with the id you are given:
<img src="http://www.digitalpeer.com/request/nos.php?id=e48b90e07f2c03c600e6d02da77f1ebd" />
An image will be displayed on yourwebsite like this:
As long as the security of this site is maintained, it is impossible for someone to obtain your email address from the id given to you in text form. It may only be obtained in image form. This will only stop email harvesters (computer programs) from being able to obtain your email address.
If you don't want to link to this site, and who wouldn't, you can simply save the image to your own host to use.
