Description
Once you’ve finally found the right domain name and verified that the domain name is available, you’ll quickly see that registering it requires providing your contact information to the company you buy it from. They’re then required to pass that information along to the ICANN WHOIS directory, which publishes it for all the world to see.
Domain privacy is an add-on service offered by many domain registration companies that keeps your personal information private, while keeping you in compliance with the law.
If you go through life trying to be careful who you provide your personal information to, you don’t want the simple act of starting a website to mean that all your personal contact information is out there for anyone to see. For many website owners, domain name privacy is worth it.
Domain privacy is generally $8 per year.
