Will my personal information be kept private?

The name you have used when you signed up to Yola is kept completely private and we do not submit it to any search engines.

If you use a Yola subdomain, such as "mysite.yolasite.com" it is completely anonymous and also free.

If you purchase a domain through Yola, such as "mysite.com", we pass the user details you give us during the domain registration to our domain registrar partner. Domain privacy is not included in the domain cost.

The Internet Coalition for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) requires that the mailing address, phone number and e-mail address of those owning/managing a domain name to be made publicly available through the "WHOIS" directories, for accountability purposes. Because we sold you the domain, your information is attached to it.

You have the option to pay for domain privacy when you purchase your domain from Yola. The additional cost for domain privacy US$9.95 per year. Your information will be not be displayed. This is something that is standard practice in the industry.
