WHOIS protection

Keep your details out of the public WHOIS

Every registered domain has a public record. WHOIS protection replaces your personal contact details with a privacy contact, so fewer scammers and spammers find you.

What is WHOIS protection?

WHOIS protection hides the contact details of a domain’s owner from the public WHOIS database. A privacy service’s details appear instead, and genuine messages are forwarded to you.

Frequently asked questions
