What is Domain Privacy?

Registrars are required to collect and maintain up-to-date contact (WHOIS) information for all domain names they register.  This information is readily available to the public by doing a simple WHOIS lookup of your domain name.  In the past, spammers have used this information to collect the private contact information of website owners and administrators.  Appalachian Hosting's Domain Privacy feature protects this information so that your information remains private.  This is a wonderful feature for home-based businesses and private domains.
