: Can I avoid delivering my personal data publicly when I register a domain? I want to create a website hosted by Altervista.org and to purchase the second level domain with the .com extension
I want to create a website hosted by Altervista.org and to purchase the second level domain with the .com extension
(as I know, domains purchased on Altervista.org are sold by Banzai Media S.r.L.).
While registering the domain, Altervista asks users to provide their personal data correctly (name, last name, address, phone number...) and all these data will appear on the Whois Record for the website associated.
This worries me, since I'm a private user and I don't hold a company, therefore I don't want that users and companies will be able to know who I am, where I live, which is my phone number... In other terms I want to avoid identity theft, spam and other troubles as long as my website will be more popular.
- can I avoid delivering my personal data publicly when I register a domanin?
p.s. I want to put advertising on my website. For I would like to find a solution which guarantees privacy and which does not affect any benefit as well.

You can purchase private registration with most, if not all, registrants for a fee that's usually just a few dollars per year. Or you can get a post office box and Google phone number to keep it all a little reclusive. Often, the first year can be hidden for free.
There's nothing illegal about doing that. I question the legality of having to pay for the privacy but I don't know the expenses for the provider behind that either.
