When you purchase Private Domain Registration, Yahoo!'s domain registration partner, Melbourne IT, will begin the process of concealing your contact information on the public WHOIS database. Learn more about how Private Domain Registration works.

Important note: Please be aware that your information may not be concealed immediately. Changes to domain name registration can take up to 24 hours to be reflected in the public WHOIS database. You can review your WHOIS record anytime from the "Domain Registration Information" page of your Domain Control Panel. Learn how.

If you ever choose to disable Private Domain Registration, you can easily reactivate the service anytime. To reactivate Private Domain Registration:

1. On your Domain Control Panel, click the "View/Edit Your Domain Registration" link.
2. Click the "Make Information Private" button.

Remember that changes to your domain registration information may not be displayed for up to 24 hours.
