Privacy Protection Domains
Privacy Protection Domains by Gossimer.com
Why Privacy Protection?
- When buying a domain name you have to provide accurate contact information or else your domain registration could be terminated as it would be in violation of the registration agreement.
- This information has to be made publicly available to everyone via the public WHOIS database as required by ICANN, the international governing body for domain names.
- Everyday, this valuable source of accurate contact information is targeted and harvested by spammers and telemarketers resulting in unwanted and unsolicited contact. Also since your contact information is public, you are at risk for identity theft and fraud and of being contacted by harassers and stalkers.
- Privacy Protection ensures that your private information is not published by replacing all your publicly visible contact details with alternate contact information.
How does it work?
- When you enable Privacy Protection on a domain name, we replace all your publicly visible contact details with alternate contact information so that when a WHOIS query is performed on the domain, an alternate mailing address, email address and phone number are displayed.
- You retain full ownership of the domain and have complete control of it.
- Anyone that tries to contact you using the alternate email address or phone number provided in the public WHOIS database will be directed to an online contact form which will in turn email the message to you. All mails sent to the alternate mailing address will be discarded.
- Privacy Protection can be disabled/enabled at any time and is provided absolutely FREE.
Note: Privacy Protect is not available for the following domain names: .EU, .CO.IN, .NET.IN, .ORG.IN, .GEN.IN, .FIRM.IN, .IND.IN, .CO.UK, .ME.UK, .ORG.UK, .IN, .US, .ASIA,

WHY CHOOSING A NEW DOMAIN IS IMPORTANT
Since the advent of web development tools and the subsequent proliferation of new websites, it almost seemed like there was an unwritten rule that your address had to end with .com. the .coms- dotcoms – appeared to be everywhere, and neither the .org nor .edu seemed to dent the image of the omnipresence .com sites.
We all want to have some degree of uniqueness whenever possible and appropriate. Why do people crave for personalized cars? Or hustle the architect to come up with that unique design for their new home? You may call it an ego trip, but I disagree. No one wants her house to look like million other houses across the country. What limits peoples’ choices are almost always finances.
But why cling to an overused domain when it costs the same, if not more than other less ubiquitous ones? That is the question I asked myself one day, and realized I just had been conditioned to think the net was a .com world, which is of course not true. So I set out to look for alternatives, the better deals. Of course when you overdo something you end up destroying the very essence of what drove to doing it in the first place. For instance, how does a .beautiful earth domain sound? It’s unique but real crass at the same time. It’s always about moderation.
I would recommend the .biz domain. It’s moderate and sounds good to me. It seems to connote a sense of business, even if the owner is a stay at home mom or dad. And many companies now offer it, among them http://www.Gossimer.biz . This is where I got mine at unbelievably cheap price, almost free, but there are others. Freedom of choice is one of the American innate attitudes that make the country great. Try a domain change now, if only for a change!
