What is Domain Privacy Protection

Again another domain name lesson...

Let's see about Domain name Privacy Protection.
At beginning, word says it's meaning. Yes, it is all about privacy.

When someone make domain request / order a domain, he/she need to enter Billing / Admin and Technical details such as Name, address, Email, Contact No's etc.

These details are very very important, because these details tells domain ownership's. Unfortunately, there is a service called, 'Domain Who is look-up' and it will display all these details. But displaying these details are a great help for the thefts (Domain thefts).

And there is a way to prevent this privacy security issue. It's called Privacy Protection for domain name. Not all the domain service providers serve's this feature and some of them charging for this service. Also there are some registrars / service providers not charging for this.

Once you have this option enabled for your domain name, No one can see your actual details for Admin / Technical and Billing contacts fields. They only can see some dummy address / name / contact details only.

But at the registrar, use can see the actual registration details correctly. With this option No More Domain Steals without owner behaviors. So, these option is available and don't forget to select any service provider that serves this Privacy Protection.
