FAQ

What is Domain Privacy?

Domain Privacy keeps personal info hidden from public view, which helps secure private data from identity theft and domain-related spam. Instead of displaying your personal information in the WHOIS database for all to see, our partner, Domains By Proxy®, will replace it with its own. The domain will belong to you — except now, you and Domains By Proxy® will be the only ones who know it.

Can I turn off Domain Privacy?

Yes, you may turn off Domain Privacy at any time, and your contact info will be shown in the WHOIS directory.

Are all domain extensions eligible for Domain Privacy?

No. Some domain extensions aren't eligible for Domains By Proxy®, and can't be used with Domain Privacy. Get a list of those extensions here.

Is Domain Protection worth it?

We sure think so! There are many parts to a business and an online presence, but your domain is one of the most important. Domain Protection keeps you in control of your domains, so you can focus on the more important stuff. Take a look at your in-depth guide for Domain Protection.
