The Internet's governing body, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers),
requires that all domain owners associate their domains with current personal (registrant or
organization), administrative, technical, and contact information. All domain name registrars,
such as Melbourne IT and Network Solutions, are required to maintain a database of this
information, called WHOIS.
Your domain contact information is legally required to permit quick resolution of technical issues
related to your domain and to ensure that trademark and other laws can be enforced.
ICANN
ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is a nonprofit corporation
charged with managing the assignment of domain names and addresses. Established in 1998 to
assume responsibilities formerly held by the U.S. government, ICANN oversees the allocation of
domain names, IP addresses, port assignments, and more.
InterNIC is a web site run by ICANN that provides the public with information about domain name
registration and related topics. From the InterNIC web site, located at http://www.internic.net/, you
can review WHOIS and registrar information, learn more about domain name registration, and file
complaints or error reports about registrar or WHOIS details.
Private Domain Registration
Private Domain Registration allows you to shield your personal information from unwanted
solicitors by listing Melbourne IT as the contact for your domain in the public WHOIS database.
Your information will be unavailable to the public. For this option add $25.00 a year.
Compare public and private registration.
