Why is private domain registration so important?
ICANN the governing body for domain names requires that each registrar keep public whois records of all domain names registered. This means that anyone that does a whois search on your domain name will reveal the name of the registrant, their email and phone number. This allows people to scan the domain whois database and retrieve email addresses to send you spam on your domain name email. Telemarketers scan for phone numbers and physical addresses on record. This is a loop hole in the domain registration system and is responsible for 90% of the spam you get in your email from domain name spamming. To counteract this loop hole there is now what is called private domain registration a patented system that uses Domains by Proxy as the registrants information on the domain name. You still have 100% legal ownership of your domain (s) and control to your domain functions such as setting your DNS, locking, forwarding, transfers. How much does private domain registration cost?

A Private registration could hide the private informations such as address, contact numbers, etc of a registrant from Whois searches. So a private registration is important for those who would like to keep thier private details secret and to avoid unwanted calls for domain bargain. It also helps in private informations of a registrant being misused. Once a domain name has been registerd under private registration, Its privacy can be ensured by having a whois lookup at http://www.whoisxy.com/ Good luck.
