What is Private Registration?
Private Registration: Your Solution to Customer Privacy and Safety Concerns

Protect from spammers, telemarketers, identity thieves, stalkers and others who “mine” the public WHOIS database with our new Private Registration service.

When you register a domain name, the registrant’s address, e-mail and phone number are published in a public WHOIS database, as required by ICANN. This may leave you feeling vulnerable to e-mail spam, identity theft, as well as unsolicited telemarketing and direct marketing.

Private Registration addresses this concern. When you add Private Registration to a domain name, alternate contact information displays in the public WHOIS database listing. We serve as a gatekeeper, filtering out spam and unsolicited direct mail, and then forwarding only important messages and mail.
