What is Domain Privacy and Why Do You Need It?
ICANN, the governing body of your domain name wants all website owners to make their personal information accessible publically. This contact information is available to anyone to search in the WHOIS directory that holds valid credentials and contact details including the email, phone number and mailing address of everyone that has registered a domain. For now, the only step to retain this data secret (to preserve your identification, reduce spam, block undesired marketing outreach and defend against domain hijacking) is through a service known as domain privacy.
