When purchasing domain names for your dedicated server, you will need to decide almost immediately how you’d like to handle the registration for said domains. Beware of choosing an unreliable hosting provider with little to no reputation in the industry, as they could maintain control of your name! Reliable web hosts like Lunarpages will show in the fine print that they do not monopolize your domains and that you have full control.
When registering a domain, you can choose to anonymously register it, which means your name, address, telephone number, and email will all be invisible to the rest of the world. Normally your web hosting provider’s information will show up instead, though this doesn’t necessarily mean they own you domain – it just means you are not listed publicly in a WhoIs query search.
There are many benefits to registering your domain anonymously:
* Privacy
* Less Spam
* No 3rd Party Telemarketers
* Security
* Affordability
Registering your domain anonymously is something every professional webmaster should think seriously about before setting up affordable dedicated hosting.
