Why is my name in the WHOIS?
The Internet Corporation of Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN) requires
accredited registrars to publish the
registrant's contact information, domain
creation and expiration dates and other
information in the WHOIS listing as
soon as a domain is registered.
Who can see my information?
The name, address and phone number
you submit when you register your
domain is publicly accessible in the
Whois Database by anyone at any
time. This may be good news if you
have domain names you'd like to sell.
Or it may be bad news if your name
and contact info is collected
by a spammer, hacker, untrustworthy
individual or other cyber-criminal.
Domain Privacy will:
- Stop domain-related spam
- End data mining
- Prevent harassers & stalkers
- Deter identity theft & fraud
- Protect your family’s privacy
- And more!
