Private Registration
The contact details of all registered domain names are available through a publicly-accessible database called WhoIs. This database acts like a phone book for domain names and is managed by the domain registrar.It allows people to find contact details of the owner of any domain name (including your name, phone number, address and email address). This comes with a downside - people can access your contact details and do whatever they like with them.
However, you can activate our domain privacy feature* to safely hide all contact information from within these publicly accessible databases. It's the perfect solution for anyone who does not want their contact details available on the internet.
- Protect against identity theft
- Reduce the risk of nuisance sales phone calls and letters
- Reduce the risk of email spam
- Reduce the risk of fraudulent domain transfers
When you activate domain privacy, we'll hide your contact details from the publicly-accessible WhoIs databases. You will have full control and standing as registrant over the domain names in your account, unlike "proxy" services where you give up control.
* Only domain name holders that are non-trading individuals can opt out of having
their address details published on WhoIs. In other words, if you do not use or plan to use your domain name for business,
trade or professional transactions, you will be entitled to opt out of having your address displayed.
