Anonymous Domain Registration

anonymous domain name registration

Domain registration is needed to maintain a database of website names and their corresponding IP addresses, including the data of the person who owns the website. It also prevents websites having the same name. Websites which are linked to the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) Domain Name Server (DNS) database, can easily provide information as to who owns which website. This is especially useful in cases where copyright laws have been violated, or illegal porno has been posted and a lawsuit needs to be induced.

Folks who don’t wish their private information, for example last name, residential address, or phone number to be seen, by all the people accessing the web desire anonymous domain registration. It also prevents Spam from being directed to individual’s e-mail addresses. Many companies are supplying Domain Registration these days, but the user might finish up paying $5 to $10 more than they usually would have.

What occurs is, that domain-registering companies register the domain in their names, instead of the users. The users enter into a contract with the Registrar, which states the details of use, and the conditions in which the user’s info can be made public. It includes sending Spam or any illegal activity.

Users can sell the domain or alter the contents of the websites, as per their wish. However, the official owner of the internet site is the Registering company. Users clearly will have to follow the ICANN’s Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy.

Anonymous domain registration also avoids poaching of consumers by competing registrars, who can check the WHOIS database and try to lure consumers with better offers. Users are suggested to read the accord clauses terribly carefully. There were a report of people’s information having been made public, by the registering company in the event of complains, that weren’t correctly analyzed.
