Private Domain Name Registration

Did you know that with a standard public domain registration, your name, address, phone number, and email address are immediately made available in the public WHOIS directory to anyone who wants to see them? That’s right and you are exposed to an untold number of potential problems. Your personal information is exposed 24 hours a day, everyday, to anyone, anywhere.

A private domain name registration shields your personal information from public view; you control who reaches you and when!

You have the power to change this. With a private domain name registration through Domains By Proxy® (our affiliate company), registering a domain name doesn't mean sacrificing your privacy.

ICANN, the international governing body for domain names, requires every Registrar to maintain a publicly accessible "WHOIS" database displaying all contact information for all domain names registered.

Example: John Smith lives at 1234 Elm Street, Hometown AZ 85000. His home phone is 480-555-5555. He buys "ProxiedDomain.com".
  • With a public registration, John's personal information is available for anyone to see.
  • With a private registration, John's personal information is shielded from public display, and a private email address allows John to control who reaches him.

Private Domain Name Registration FAQ:

Domain Name Tips:

  • Domain names can only use letters, numbers, and dashes.
  • Most recognized Domain Name extension is .com extension.
  • Register Your Domain Name Immediately before someone else does!
  • Remember to Renew your Domain Names before they expire!
  • Avoid Names that may infringe on other company's copyright.
  • Registering for more than 1 year gives multi-year discounts and are ranked higher by Google.
  • Don't spend too much money! Cheaper Registrars provide the same if not more features for a lower price!
  • Keep your Domain Name short! Hyphens can seperate words, but are hard for clients to remember.
  • Register an Internet Domain Name with targeted keywords or a memorable brand name.
  • Register multiple domains: get a .net extension, or register a shorter company name domain.

How Private Domain Name Registration Works:

  • Your new or existing domain is registered in the name of Domains By Proxy -- so their information is made public -- not yours.
  • You retain full benefits of domain registration. You can cancel, sell, renew, or transfer your domain; set-up name servers for your domain; and resolve disputes involving your domain.
  • The patent-pending registration and email handling systems let you manage and control all postal mail and email addressed to the domain you have registered, as well as the domain's contact information.
  • Your domain registration is safe and insured against loss.
  • But don't even think about using a private registration to transmit spam, violate the law, or engage in morally objectionable activities.

Protect yourself from spam, fraud, stalkers and worse by keeping your name, address, email and phone number private. Registering your domain name with the Private Domain Name Registration today!
