When you register
a domain name ( example www.yourname.com ), the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
requires your domain name registrar to submit your personal contact
information to the WHOIS database. Once your listing appears in this online
directory, it is publicly available to anyone who chooses to check domain
names using the WHOIS search tool.
There are a variety of third parties who may check domain names
in the WHOIS database, including:
-
Individuals check domain names
for expiration dates
- Registrars check domain names when
transferring ownership
- Authorities check domain names when
investigating criminal activity
An accredited domain names registrar must comply with the WHOIS
database requirements set forth by ICANN. However, in an effort to ensure that
customers feel comfortable with the visibility of their personal information,
some registrars ( ex:
http://www.networksolutions.com/ )
offers three options for your WHOIS database listing.
Public WHOIS Database Listing
If you're comfortable with having your information available to the public and
don't want the extra fee associated with private domain registration the
registrar will submit a public listing to the WHOIS database. This listing will
include your name, address, phone number, email address and domain name
expiration date. Your website
hosting IP
address and host name will also be listed.
Private WHOIS Database
Listing
Having your personal information made available to the public will increase your
risk of becoming a victim of hackers, spammers and even data miners. To keep
your contact information out of the hands of those who may use it maliciously,
the registrars offers private domain name registration. For a small monthly fee,
they will act as your proxy which means that anyone who does a WHOIS
lookup for your domain name information will find our contact information, not
yours.
Enhanced Business
Listing in WHOIS Database
Registrars like Network Solutions strives to bring online solutions to small
business owners. By advertising your business in the WHOIS database, you can
leverage over 30 million people who check domain names in the WHOIS database
every month to help drive more traffic to your Website and your offline business
location. Your enhanced business listing can be customized to meet your needs
and may include: your location, operating hours, products and services, special
offers, and even domain names for sale.
The customers should ultimately decide how their contact
information will be listed in the WHOIS database. When you're ready to register
a domain name, consider your options before your personal information becomes
available to the public.
