Adding Privacy to Backordered Domain Names

If you placed a domain name backorder and do not want your personal information listed in the Whois database if we capture and register the domain name for you, you can add Private Registration to the backorder for an additional fee.

If your backorder with privacy is unsuccessful, you can apply the Private Registration to any other backorder.

For more information about privacy, see Private Registration FAQ
