Who owns your website is nobody's business but yours and ours
The Situation
For legacy reasons, ICANN rules
require that WHOIS data (information on the domain and the contact
information for the owner) be valid. This domain information database has
become a feeding ground for spam harvesting and outright stalking.
One way some people work around the problem is to provide false contact information, especially a false e-mail address, but this is illegal and dangerous. There are many examples of users losing their domains because their own registrars could not contact them through their contact information.
The Solution
Your domain is registered in the name of Domain Privacy Group. Only our
contact information is made public, not yours. In other words, instead of
seeing your information, a WHOIS user sees information about the
registration service.
