Domains by Proxy is an Internet company owned by Go Daddy founder Bob Parsons. It offers domain privacy services through partner domain registrars such as Go Daddy and Wild West Domains.
Subscribers list Domains by Proxy as their administrative and technical contacts in the Internet's WHOIS database, thereby delegating responsibility for managing unsolicited contacts from third parties and keeping the domains owners personal information safe from the public eye.
The Domains by Proxy service is not a legal obligation, however, and registrant's personal information can be released in some cases, such as a legal subpoena or cease and desist[1][2]
