What does private registration mean?

Hello Sarah,

Private registration refers to the domain owner details.

By default your registration details supplied at the time of purchase of a domain are placed on a publicly accessible file accessed by a domain whois enquiry.

Private registration hides your personal details like name, address and phone number. It is a paid for subscription facility.
