[users@httpd] Domain Registrant's Details
Does anybody know whether it is legally possible to hide Registrant's
address and phone number from public records? For example, when you
click on this link: <http://www.whois.net/whois/joomlatraining.com> you
get the complete details and so from the safety point of view I feel
that one should be able to hide this. The authorities can have access
to these info but what has the general public got to do with it.
All the details the public & customers needs are on the website like
official business address, phone number, email etc. I just don't like
my residential address to be known by the general public and "people who
don't like me".
Thanks.

More than likely you will have to do paperwork to transfer the ownership of
the domain. The only way they are going to know that it is really you is
to send you the paperwork to get filled out.
I've personally never and to do a transfer or had any issues with anyone
actually showing up at my door and I've had my domain for ages.

It's relatively easy but still requires a written agreement from the
owner or legal representative of the domain, and detailed WHOIS info for
the new owner.

What does that even have to do with domain registration ?

Thanks for the update. Didn't know they existed. I've been around from the
ground up, long before these creeps appeared with spam and hackers and DDOS
a-holes.
Considering what has happened over the years, I consider myself fairly lucky
in many respects (except for all the spam).

Yes, you can transfer it, as you are the registered entity and you are assigning
the ownership to your company. Ask your registrar how.
An no, Mike, there are anonymysing services, just look up rowe-clan.net. Godaddy
and others sell this stuff, it is great for keeping your mailbox clear of "urgent,
please renew today!" spam.

Thanks Mike for your quick reply. Is it easy to transfer the domain to
my company? Will the registrar ask many questions and corporate
documentations?
The reason I am asking this is somebody came to my place earlier today
to ask about training courses. I thought it should have been easier to
browse the web and get the info and now I am concerned about this.

AFAIK, no. It is not possible. If you didn't want your address known, then
you should have registered through a corporate entity. But, even corporate
records are obtainable. A POBox address?
You want a domain name, you aren't going to be hidden.
