Private Domain Name Registration

What is domain privacy?

When you register a domain, you are required by ICANN to give registrars up-to-date personal information such as name and contact information, which is then required to be displayed publicly.

This information is a vital resource if any issues should arise regarding your domain, such as from ownership confirmation. ICANN requires that it is shared publicly by default

Sharing your registrant information publicly has many drawbacks. The largest being that anyone can find your information online and use it however they please, including to spam you.

Do you want to protect your privacy? Add Private Registration to your domain name(s) and DNProtect.NET will provide alternate contact information for the listing of your domain name registration(s) in the public WHOIS database.

When you register a domain name you have to specify correct contact information which is recorded in WHOIS database. According to ICANN policies all your private information stored in WHOIS database is instantly made public. So your contact data becomes available for collecting by spammers, telemarketers and any other persons.

Domain Names with Private Registration receive:

• Privacy - Alternate contact information will be used to keep your personal information private
• Protection - Prevent e-mails from spammers and calls from telemarketers
• Value - For only a nominal fee per year, you will have the peace of mind that your e-mail address, home address, or phone number information will not be misused
• Full Control - Unlike other proxy services, you remain the registrant for the private domain name

How does this work?

• DNProtect.NET enters its own contact information rather than yours into the Whois database. This allows you to manage your online whois identity with complete privacy.
• We accept all incoming email and forward it to a private email account known only to the registrant (s) and dnprotect.net. Before they are forwarded, we take care to filter the messages for spam and virus infected files.
• We maintain a separate database that contains the real owners of every domain registered through our service that can not be accessed by the public. The benefit of anonymity will only be revoked if you violate our usage policy, break the law or use it to send out spam.
