How Private Domain Registration Works!

Thousands of people become proud owners of new domains every day. What most don't realize is the invasion of privacy this happy moment often brings. When ICANN requires personal information from the domain registrant you would expect some secrecy. But no, it is all open to access by anyone, to spam, to abuse. But there is safer ways to register a domain. And we know where you can make a private domain registration.

Private Domain Registration

When you register a domain name you are required to give out your personal information such as address, full name, phone number and email. This is a must according to ICANN (Internet Corporation of name s and numbers) that are controlling and indexing all domains on the Internet. The information that is demanded from the new domain owner is then completely exposed for anybody to access and abuse. And there's a strong demand on personal information for spamming use and fraud scams. Private domain registrations have become the savior for many badly informed domain consumers.

A secure and privacy protected Internet

As the demand of a more secure and safe Internet is getting stronger and stronger private domain registration is a clear example of a change that needs to be made. Furthermore this has to become a much more common service offered by web hosting businesses and domain resellers. One domain management business, Go Daddy, has really taken this task to heart not only offering private domain registration through Domains By Proxy but also to domain service resellers with Wild West Domains. Since anybody can become a Wild West reseller Go Daddy has made sure that private domain registration is offered through thousands of other reselling domain sites, all over the World Wide Web.

Wild West Domain resellers offer Private Domain Registration

In January of 2008 Wild West came out with the new Protected Registration package for its resellers to promote and sell. It was what so many had been waiting for. Privacy put first! For only $24 customers can register domains protecting their privacy. Instead of customers filling in their own, reseller will put their personal information. The purchaser of the domain still keeps the ownerships, control and benefits but avoids being spammed or scammed. ICANN just gets the resellers information and the customer gets to keep his!

One recommendation is to always go for offshore private domain registration since US based registrars often give your details off to 3d parties. I used www.yohost.org

Hi,

Could anyone recommend Wild West Domains when they Steal from their Reseller's Customers?

See http://www.ecosolarheating.net the site content is not about Solar but How Wild West Domains / Go Daddy Group harvest domains from Reseller Accounts.

It could happen to your customers if you (Reseller) ever get ill and have to go to hospital.
