What is Domain Privacy?

When registering a domain, you must provide accurate personal information to registrars. This includes your name and contact details, as mandated by ICANN.

This information is displayed publicly in the WHOIS directory, a domain address book. Each WHOIS record provides information on the domain registrant, registrar, name servers, and expiry date. Your information includes your name, address, email and phone number.

This information is essential if any issues arise regarding your domain, such as ownership confirmation. By default, ICANN requires that this information is shared publicly unless you are protected by GDPR.

Sharing your registrant information publicly has drawbacks, like anyone being able to find and use it, including spammers.

If you would like to keep your personal contact information private, you can use a domain privacy service.
