ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers) requires every registrar to maintain a publicly accessible WHO-IS database displaying certain contact information for each domain name it registers. This requirement applies to every domain purchased through every registrar, regardless of where it is purchased and regardless of the domain name extension purchased (e.g., .com, .org, .UK, etc.).
Now you can proctect your personal information with a private, "unlisted" registration. Its available when you register new domain names with us or you can convert your existing domain names. If your domain name was registered with a different company, you can transfer it to us and then convert it to a private registration.

How Private Registrations
Work
|
| » |
Your domain is
registered in Domains by Proxy's name --- so
its information is made public --- not
yours
|
| » |
You retain full
benefits of ownership. You can cancel, sell,
renew and transfer your domain; set up its name
servers and resolve domain-related
disputes
|
| » |
Patent-supported
systems let you manage and control all postal
mail and email addressed to your domain, as well
as your domain's contact
information
|
| » |
And your domain is
safe --- it's insured against loss by The Hartford
Insurance Company --- AND backed by
your registrar's
guarantee!
|
| » |
But don't even think
about using a private
registration to transmit spam, violate the law or
engage in morally objectionable activities including but not limited to, those which are:
child pornographic, harmful to minors, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harassing, tortious, obscene, racially, ethically, or otherwise objectionable; or involve hate crimes or terrorism.
