WHOIS Domain Search

By doing a WHOIS domain search, one can simply search the owner of a domain name. So if you have a domain name your personal information will be available to the public who search for it.

The domain name registrars recently have started to give users the option of selecting the privacy option when registering a domain name. This option is not always available by companies for the reason that it would seem that people are hiding their true identity. If you take the privacy option searchers will only get the contact information of the domain name registrar when they search for ownership of a domain using the WHOIS domain lookup. So you will only be able to get information of those domain names that have not opted for the privacy option.

When performing a WHOIS search, you have to simply enter the entire domain name into the search box and then press enter. You will get the complete information of the domain name address if the owner of it has not selected the privacy option. The information that you get includes their name, full address, telephone number, the date the domain name is set to expire and the hosting IP.

If you do not want people to see your personal information, then you have to contact your registrar and check with them whether they provide the service of a privacy option. If it’s not available then you will have to change your registrar and find one that offers such an option. These days the privacy option is provided by many of the registrars free of cost or at a minimal charge.

One way that people try to get around paying any extra fees is by entering false information on the registration form, in this way they will not have to select the privacy option. Well it looks easy but it is in violation of terms of the contract with your registrar and if caught your domain name will be taken away from you.

One option that is available if you don’t want to pay for the privacy option nor wish to let people see your information. Simply rent a post office box and use it as your address. In this way, the post box number is given to those who search on a WHOIS domain name search and hence your private information remains private.

To do a WHOIS domain name search simply go to any domain registrar’s homepage, click on the tab or link which says, “WHOIS”. The rest is easy to figure out.

Two of the most popular and best places to get a domain name or dedicated server hosting is from GoDaddy or dedicated servers at 1&1.
