“Unlock the Secret to Keeping Your Personal Data Safe: Discover the Power of Domain Privacy!”
What Happens When You Register a Domain?
Similar to when you buy property like real estate or a car, you must register your purchase. Domains are registered with the nonprofit organization that coordinates the domain system, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). As part of your registration, you must provide ICANN with personal information including:
- Your full name
- Physical address (home or business)
- Phone number
- Email address
- Business or organization name (if applicable)
By default, this information is added by ICANN to WHOIS, a publicly accessible database with contact information for domain owners across the web. Anyone can use a WHOIS lookup tool to find information about a website’s owner.
