How does Private Registration work?
Our contact information is made public in the
WHOIS directory - not yours.

See the difference.
We provide a private email address for your domain
You decide which emails we should forward to you and which ones we should filter for spam.
You retain FULL CONTROL over your domain and can:
  • Cancel, sell, or renew your domain
  • Control the content for your website
  • Set the name servers for your domain
  • Update the underlying domain contact information
  • Resolve any and all disputes involving your domain
We protect your identity
And only reveal it in special situations.
Getting Private Registration is Easy!
  • Buy privacy from an affiliated registrar for a new or existing domain.
  • Add privacy when you transfer a domain to an affiliated registrar.
  • Add privacy to a new or existing domain name backorder at an affiliated registrar.
Private registration helps you:
  • Protect your identity
  • Stop domain-related spam
  • Thwart harassers & stalkers
  • End data mining
  • Maintain personal and family privacy
  • Prevent your domain from being hijacked
  • Shield legitimate business endeavors
  • Voice political and First Amendment speech
But don't even think about using our service to spam, violate the law, or engage in morally offensive activity.
Why choose Domains By Proxy?
Launched in 2002, Domains By Proxy was the Internet's very first Whois privacy service. Our service was born from consumer demand, since many Internet users didn't want their personal information available for everyone to see in the Whois directory. Now, over a decade later, with 15 - 25% of all .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, & .INFO domains utilizing privacy services*, Domains By Proxy is still the gold standard, providing consumers with a reputable service and unparalleled customer support.
