When you register a domain name, it’s required by the Internet Corporate for Assigned Name and Numbers (ICANN) that you provide valid contact information. This information is available to the public. Therefore, when you register a domain, anybody can lookup the information you used when registering the domain.

It's easy to lookup domain name contact information using the WHOIS lookup function. Many solicitors use this contact information to send you spam and physical junk mail. 

Fortunately, there’s a solution for this. Private Domain Name Registration, often referred to as Domain Privacy, is a service whereby your contact information is masked.

If you have a domain name registered through BannerView.com, would like to register a new domain, or transfer an existing domain to BannerView.com, domain privacy can be added for only $5.00 additional per year per domain. This fee is in addition to the annual registration fee for your domain.

If you want to reduce spam email and physical junk mail, enabling domain name registration privacy is a great option. Instead of your contact information being exposed, we’ll substitute our contact information. You are still the registrant of the domain and control all rights associated with the registration. Our contact information is listed for the simple purpose of diverting spam email and junk mail from getting delivered to you.

For existing customers, we’ve created a video walkthrough on how to enable domain privacy for an existing domain.

If you’re not a existing BannerView.com customer or would like to learn more about domain privacy please contact us.
