Domain Privacy

Domain privacy, or privacy protection, shields the personal information of domain owners from being publicly available in the WHOIS database.

More About Domain Privacy

When registering a domain, personal details like name, address, and contact information are required. These details traditionally were publicly accessible through the WHOIS database. To protect domain owners from spam, potential scams, or privacy breaches, many registrars now offer privacy protection, replacing the owner’s details with generic information.

Is Domain Privacy Worth It?

Short answer: yes!

When you register a domain, your personal contact information (such as your name, address, and phone number) is typically added to the WHOIS database, which is a public directory of domain name registrants.

If you are concerned about your privacy and don’t want your personal information to be publicly available, you should definitely consider using domain privacy protection.
