What do you need to know about registering a domain?
When you register a domain, you are required by ICANN to give registrars up-to-date personal information such as name and contact information, which is then required to be displayed publicly.

Are there any top level domains that have privacy?
Privacy protection is widely available except for some top-level domains. It depends on the extension: Most country-specific domain extensions (ccTLDs) such as .us for the United States don’t have privacy. It’s handled via the registrar or reseller control panel.
