Adding Privacy to Backordered Domain Names
If you placed a domain name backorder and do not want your personal information listed in the Whois database if we capture and register the domain name for you, you can add Domains By Proxy® (DBP) Private Registration to the backorder for an additional fee.
If your backorder with privacy is unsuccessful, you can apply the Private Registration to any other backorder or request a refund from our support team.
