Private Domain Registration
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, our 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.
See how your contact information looks with and without Yahoo! Private Domain Registration.

wow. yahoo domain only $.99 a month. It's very interesting!!! I'll for your next post. Tks.
its really so cheap?
i will surely have a look
Yeah, I've been getting a few mail "spam" about domain name revewal service because I didn't hide my info on my domain (I had to pay more to make that info private)
@ sofhal jamil - Domains are $1.99 not $.99
@ ankit - Yes... it is really cheap.
@ lyon - Why did you have to pay more to make the info private?
Their domains are pretty cheap. They're loosing money on that in hopes of gaining hosting customers.
Hmm, cheap rates but is that 99 cents a month a year for just the domain? Making it $12 a year which actually isn't so cheap after all?
Very informational. Is this a limited time offer or do you think it will go on for quite awhile?
This cost same with Godaddy.com. There are cost $0.99 for 1st year with Coupon Code "test99". You can try it...
This is a good info on domain privacy! I think I need to check mine. cheers!
First off, I have to say this is really good information to have. Not many people know what Yahoo has to offer. Especially when it comes to privacy.
Secondly, Right on! I am going to look into this immediately. Any way to save those $'s is great.
Thirdly, you have my vote I'm going to bookmark this article.

thnx for the info mate... but i guess its better to buy domain from blogger itself... because it costs you $10 a year and you blog is automatically redirected to new domain with same page ranking...
I use dreamhost right now, for $6.95 year. I had a few problems initially, and they gave me 6 free months as compensation. No problems to speak of since then. Do you offer more for your higher price?

I use Networksolutions and I paid $99.00 for a year. I wish I knew this then. I will have to look into it before I renew my domain name with them.
Thanks, DCRose
