Private Registration

When you register a domain name, your address, email and phone number are automatically published in the public WHOIS database. ICANN requires that this personal information be accurate and available for anybody to view on the Web, any time, day or night. You can make your domain name registration private, which will help to:

• Deter spammers, telemarketers, identity thieves, harassers, stalkers, and others who use this public WHOIS database to contact you
• Protect Your Personal Information - The information you want to keep private is kept out of the public WHOIS database.
• Protect Your Domain Name Registration - Gives you full control and standing as registrant over the domain names in your account, unlike "proxy" services.

How It Works

The public WHOIS listing for your domain name registration will contain your alternate contact information:

• Email Address - Your newly created email address changes every 10 days to protect you from people who mine the WHOIS database and sell the information. Email received at this address will be filtered for spam and forwarded to your designated email accounts.
• Postal Address - Your postal address displayed in your WHOIS listing is a PO Box address in care of Network Solutions to stop junk mail and unwanted persons from finding your home. Legal and other important notices received via Certified Mail® or Express Mail® will be forwarded to you. Find out more.
• Phone Number - Your phone number listing and a call answering service will prevent telemarketers from harassing you.
