Private Domain Registration: What it is and How to Get it

A private domain registration keeps your personal information - such as your name, home address, phone number and email address - out of the public eye. You have the option of getting a private domain registration with every domain you register with us.

ICANN, the governing body of domain names requires every registrar to maintain a publicly accessible WHOIS directory for all domains that are registered. This means your personal information is made available to anyone who wants to see it – and it’s available 24 hours a day, everyday.

This exposes your personal information to spammers, scammers, telemarketers and a whole host of unsavory characters. A private domain registration can prevent this.

With a private domain registration, you can keep your personal information private via a new and unique process that is supported by two patent applications.

With a private domain registration, we register your domain in its name and our private domain company - Domains by Proxy - becomes the Registrant of record. Even though we are the Registrant, YOU STILL CONTROL the domain. You retain the FULL BENEFITS of domain name registration and retain the right to:

Cancel, sell, renew or transfer your domain

Set up the name servers for your domain

Resolve disputes involving your domain

More importantly, with a private domain registration, our private domain company name, address and phone number are made publicly available in the WHOIS directory --- not yours!
