Whenever you buy a domain , you need to provide basic necessary details like your name,address,email & phone number. This data is needed to contact domain owners incase of problems, bu tnow being exploited by spammers and marketers to bother people.
Domain registrars offer “privacy or WHOIS guard, Private Domain Registration” that costs $8 a year.
We can change this to private settings. With a private (“unlisted”) registration through Domains By Proxy (our affiliate company), registering a domain name doesn’t mean sacrificing your privacy. Their name is shown on the registration instead of yours, but you still retain the full benefits of full registration.
WordPress.com allows “adding “private registration” when you buy or have existing domain registered with them. If your domain expires in less than six months in current year you’ll get rest of the year free but you’ll have to renew domain and cover the cost of privacy upgrade for the remainder of domain’s lifetime.
