What is Private Registration? (Domain Proxy Service)

With Private Registration, alternate contact information is displayed in your Whois listing. You remain the registrant of the domain name, which enables you to view and make changes to your contact information as well as all of your settings associated with your domain name registration. Special email addresses are listed with your domain in Whois that forward to your real email address. All postal mail and faxes are received by GKG.NET, INC. and will be forwarded to your real address, if you so desire. There may be additional fees for forwarding this information.
