Did you know that anyone — including spammers and telemarketers —
can find your contact information just by looking up your domain name online?
That's right. The Internet's governing body, ICANN,
requires that every domain owner's name and contact information be listed in an
online database. Unfortunately, many solicitors regularly go through this
database to gather contacts for marketing campaigns.
Now you can keep your contact information out of the public eye using Yahoo!
Private Domain Registration.
How Does Private Domain Registration Work?
· When you sign up, Yahoo!'s partner Melbourne IT updates your registration listing with generic contact information that points to Melbourne IT's offices.
· Whenever someone looks up your domain and tries to contact you, Melbourne IT receives the call, email, or letter and screens the information on your behalf.
· Melbourne IT forwards prescreened communications to you, so you can reply as you see fit.
How Much Does Private Domain Registration Cost?
Yahoo! Private Domain Registration is available for just $0.75 per month with Yahoo! Web Hosting, Yahoo! Merchant Solutions, or Yahoo! Business Mail plans, or just $9.00 per year with Yahoo! Domains or Yahoo! Custom Mailbox plans.
How Do You Sign Up?
You can add Private Domain Registration with your plan during the Yahoo! signup process.
