Domain Registry
This information is used for:
1) Registrant Contact (Reg-C) [The Registrant Contact (Reg-C) is the organization or person that has the rights to use (or ownership of) the domain.], and;
2) Administrative Contact (Admin-C) [The Administrative Contact (Admin-C) is the contact person for administrative, non-technical matters. Example: for legal matters, change of ownership, etc.]
Private Domain Registration
Explanation
Each domain registered must have contact details publicly available for that domain so that the owner may be reached if necessary. The contact details are stored in a WHOIS database and WHOIS information for all domains can be found online using a number of WHOIS sites.
Information such as your name, postal address, e-mail address, phone number, etc is usually listed publicly in the WHOIS database for anyone from the public to access. Private registration acts as a middleman so that instead of your personal information listed as the contact details for the domain, ElateWeb provider's name, address, phone number, etc are listed instead.
Other Important Points
- Private Domain registration is only available for certain domains.
- Subdomains cannot have Private Domain registration.
- No Private Domain registration for External Domains. You will have to contact the registrar of the domain.
