What is Private Domain Registration?

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 when you register domain with any domain supplier as Godaddy, Namecheap, ...
 
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. 

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