How to Enable Domain Privacy

According to the ICANN regulation, the group of people who solely focus on domains and all the stuff about them, the contact information for a domain must be submitted when you purchase a domain name. This information is made publicly available through a WHOIS Directory. All domain owners (registrar) are required to keep accurate, current, and valid personal or business contact information for their domain. But let's say you don't want your personal contact information for your domain accessible to everyone on the World Wide Web. In order to make ICANN happy by providing accurate contact information and not allowing your personal contact information to be online, you can simply purchase Domain Privacy to appease everyone.

What is Domain Privacy?

Domain Privacy is a service that allows you to keep your personal and business contact information, such as your name, address, email, and phone number, private from prying eyes while still ensuring that you list valid contact information for your domain.
