Private Registration
Private Registration is the replacement of a website owner's whois personal information with that of the registrar. Ownership remains with the domain owner. This is an important feature for many reasons. Spammers use whois information to harvest email addresses to send SPAM to or sell to other spammers. Identity theft is facilitated by being listed in whois which provides an identity thief information about the owner. Also, owners have been called by posers claiming to be from their host or registrar asking for their social security numbers for tax purposes.
