It is extremely crucial that I keep my privacy on my physical abuse domains because I hope to become a non-profit and eventually maintain information that will help victims of domestic violence and rape. Having my contact information public would not only be an invasion of my privacy, but could also potentially be dangerous in my case. Some information should and has to be sacred for if nothing else that reason.
I would like to sincerely thank you for the service you provide. As I run a website (www.savetoby.com) that contains material which, although entirely legal, may be objectionable to many; it has become a necessity to protect my personal information from reaching the hands of those that would do myself or my family harm. I could have easily registered my domain under a false address and identification to protect my identity, but in doing so I would be breaking the law. DomainsByProxy solved all of these problems by providing an inexpensive, legal and secure means of protecting my personal information. From the threats that they receive daily on my behalf, it is quite obvious that their service is invaluable to those who wish to protect their identity. My account was set up in a matter of seconds at a more than reasonable price. Furthermore, I have had personal contact with their knowledgeable staff on numerous occasions, each time they responded in courteous and timely fashion. For all of these reasons I must recommend the DBP service to anyone who wishes to protect their identity.

My personal privacy is of extreme importance to me. At any moment I can have anywhere from $50,000 to
$1 Million in precious stones in my possession. As such, the security of my family, myself, and my business can hinge directly on my ability to keep my address a closely guarded secret. When it was made clear to me that this was in jeopardy without private registration I purchased it on all of my domain names. Thank you for this invaluable service!

When we were first looking at setting up a family website, one of our top concerns was privacy. So when we discovered Domains By Proxy it was ideal. Since it was a family website with pictures of our children, we didn’t want our personal information available for just anyone to see. In today’s world, privacy cannot be taken for granted — it must be safe-guarded and that’s exactly what Domains By Proxy does!

I first became aware of Domains By Proxy® when I was registering a domain. The content of the domain I was most recently registering was somewhat sensitive (exposing the truth about entities who wish it to remain concealed), and might invite unwanted attention or inappropriate personal contact. Not being willing to lie about my phone or home address, I never considered filing with false information (as some spammers attempt to do), but realize there are legitimate reasons why I would need to be contacted. To correct errors in the web site, for example. To bring new information to my attention so I could add it to the site. To notify me about legal issues relating to the site.
But the real downside risk to my family, who were rightly worried about stalkers, harassers, or unstable personalities, meant I owed them at least one layer of protection when I registered this site. The alternatives were a private mail forwarding facility, a USPS P.O. Box, perhaps in a far-away city, and a voicemail phone system to make sure my home and/or cell phone were safe from misuse.
All of these alternatives cost more and took far more time to set up than the few minutes it took to arrange data privacy with Domains By Proxy. It could have cost 10-20 times as much! The choice was easy. Their reputation for privacy and service meets my needs. I can trust them to pass on the critical messages to me if the need arises. But I know that if I was ever to abuse their trust in me, by violating their terms of service, and using the service to hide behind if I harassed others, they would not stand for it.
I would also recommend the service for vanity or personal domains, where the only visitors should be family members or personal friends. Same for people who work at home, who don’t have a business address separate from their living address.
Why set your domain registration up as a homing beacon for spammers, trolls, or harassers? Domains By Proxy will pass on the critical communications you might miss if you used a throwaway email address to register your domain, and it was spammed into the next county after being harvested. But they make sure that you can sleep safe at night, knowing your family’s home address isn’t being passed around in the criminal community. — Bill C.
Just a note to follow up on our recent phone call, where I had described some reasons that the DomainsByProxy service was being used by us on a large scale:
– our number one reason is simply privacy. If we run a website called “WeLoveWidgets.com”, we may not want anyone to know that we also run the site called “WidgetsSuck.com” (not that we run either of those, but you get the idea). It’s too easy at the large registrars to do ownership searches to find out every domain an individual possesses.
– We’re less of a target to the large search engines, who often discriminate in their listings against “professional” webmasters. With your service, Google can’t tell if we own all top 5 websites that sell widgets. They can only rank our site based on its merit, and competing webmasters can’t report us for dominating a particular category. It removes the politics and lets us get back to basics.
– DomainsByProxy reduces the amount of spam we receive! Important messages still find us, but random spam seems to pass us by. That alone is worth the price.
– our last reason is personal safety. One of us had a problem a few years ago with an online stalker who found our phone number via a Whois search, and who kept harassing us. Now our information is hidden, without the extra expense of additional phone lines, email addresses, etc. So, overall, your service just makes us feel safe — Nancy R.
