Private Domain Registration

Domain Name Registration Article Details

Private Domain Registration is a term used to describe a method by which a domains details that are normally made public through the domain registration process (and easily looked up via a WHOIS query), can be made private and protected.

In todays world where privacy is becoming more and of an issue, private domain registration is becoming more and more of a necessity when protecting your personal details from the likes of spammers, identity thieves, direct marketers and hackers.

If you do not use a private domain registration service, then all of your private personal details as mandated by ICANN (the worldwide authority on domain names and IP addresses), such as name, address, email, and phone number along with the number of years the domain is registered WILL BE available to anyone wanting to get it.

Private domain registration is carried out usually by the domain registrar you register your domain through or a service offered by them that acts on your behalf when privately registering your domain. It effectively creates a proxy record showing the details of the private registration service rather than your own. Your details as the owner of the domain are therefore kept private and only known to the private domain registration service.

Private domain registration is also a good thing to have if you want to post issues of a controversial nature, or, display items of interest that cause a backlash against you in some way in either your work or community. Freedom of speech, and indeed freedom of anonymous speech is a right protected by the consitution. Having private domain registration on your domain will allow you to easily protect that right (unless you are inciting hate or violance etc), effectively, and at little cost. Private domain registration services can be abused however, and people abusing it may have their private details revealed by the receipt of a court order or subpoena.
