Why Private Domain Registration Is Important

Everyone that owns a website or at least a domain should be informed about domain Private Registration. If you buy a whole package where ever you get your domain name and hosting they probably give you Private Registration included but some places you need to pay an extra 8 or 9 dollars, at GoDaddy.com for example.

For those who don’t know what private registration is, it is basically when you register for a domain name, all your information is put into a Whois Database. The scary thing about this is that this Database is can be viewed by anyone who has the internet. If you go to any website that has anything to do with “Whois” you can find information on any website you put in.

Now, without private registration, your full name, street address, phone number, email address along with many other things are displayed for everyone to see. But with the aid of private registration, all your information is hidden and it displays your domain providers information for example, GoDaddy’s contact information and address for their office.

I had learned about Private Registration a while ago but forgot about it, and now I know I want to be safe when im out on the internet, so last night I went and got my Private Registration. I recommend that everyone who owns a domain to get private registration. You don’t want all your personal information out there on the internet for the world to see.
