Private Registration helps hide your contact information - name, phone number, address, email address etc. - from your domain WHOIS record’s publicly accessible portion. A ‘private registration’ listing is populated with alternate contact information.

Benefits of Private Domain Registration:

• Prevents privacy intrusions.
• Deters spammers, identity thieves, fraudsters, telemarketers, harassers, stalkers and data miners.
• Gives you full control over the domain names in your account unlike “proxy” services.
