Making A Backordered Domain Private

You can make your backorder private and keep your personal identifying information (name, phone number, email and home addresses) shielded from public exposure in the WHOIS directory from the very moment the you successfully acquire your backordered domain.

Again, if your backorder is not successful, it can be reassigned to another domain name. If your unsuccessful backorder is private, your private registration can be applied to any other backorder.
