LuxSci has recently lowered its prices for DNS services [and domain registrations]. We are now cost competitive with all major DNS services offered, with the exception perhaps of the “free” ones bundled into other DNS providers’ packages.  The quality of LuxSci’s DNS service continues to far exceed that of most providers.

DNS services are often likened to the “phone books” of the Internet.  If the phone book is not available, then your email stops working and people cannot get to your web site.  Highly reliable DNS services are thus fundamental to reliable email and web sites. Yet, all too often, people choose their DNS service provider based solely on price, only to regret that decision later when things start failing — while you can change your DNS provider, it is not instantaneous and the loss to you may be unrecoverable.

Any time you register a domain name, you are required to provide valid contact information for the owner of the domain.  This information is published and made publically available in the “WHOIS” database.  Anyone can look there to see who owns the domain and to contact the domain owner if necessary.

Private Domain Registration, or WHOIS Masking, or contact privacy, is a service offered by some domain registrars where they will either (a) not publish the domain owner’s contact details, or will (b) publish “masked” details — i.e. details that point to anonymous names and addresses at the registrar.
