WHOIS privacy
How registrant privacy works, when it is disabled, and gTLD requirements.
WHOIS privacy replaces your personal contact details in the public WHOIS record with a proxy service. It stops spam, doxxing, and social engineering.
- Included free on most gTLDs (.com, .net, .org, .io, .co, .app, and more).
- Some ccTLDs (.us, .ca, .de) do not allow privacy by registry rule.
- Turn privacy off temporarily before initiating an outbound transfer.
- Legal requests routed through the proxy are forwarded to you.
