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.

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.

What is a good domain name important?

A good domain name helps you in numerous ways. For Businesses Add your domain name to your business card, email signature, and other advertisements. Build credibility: Show your customers that you have an established business. Improve your marketing: Provide customers an easy way to remember and contact you. Protect your brand: Secure the domain name that best represents your business name and keep it out of the hands of your competitors. For Consumers Describe your site as best you can with your domain name. For example, a pair of amateur magicians might use their stage names, some combination of words including magic, or the name of their most famous trick.
