What is "whois" information? Can I make it private?

Whois is the central database for domain name owners. If you register a domain name your information will be made public. Anyone can simply go to any registrar which has a whois database and find out who owns that particular domain name. You are able to make domain name information private at most registrars. There is usually a fee associated with this ranging from $.25-$1.99. If you are afraid that spammers or stockers will be able to locate you, I would suggest that you make your information private.
