Domain privacy

Our domain privacy feature is simple and effective. We replace your contact details with ours, whilst you remain the legal owner of your domain names.

• Keep your anonymity and retain legal ownership of your domain names.
• Protect against the risk of identity theft and domain name hijacking.
• Minimise junk mail, spam and scams by using a proxy email address.
• No more annoying marketing phone calls when you use a proxy phone number.
• Avoid non-compliance and domain deletion by using our regulated domain privacy.

Not all registries allow the use of domain privacy on their domain extensions, in particular country code domains (ccTLDs). Details of which extensions accept domain privacy can be found on our big domain extensions list if you choose the domain privacy filter under features. The list of extensions that allow domain privacy will increase over time.

Domain privacy T&Cs.

The WHOIS database is the Internet’s telephone directory. It stores all the details of domain name registrations. Once you’ve registered your domain name, your contact details are published. This includes your name, address, email, and phone number. Plus the admin, billing and technical contacts. Along with the name servers, registration, renewal, and expiry dates of your domain name. The database allows people to track down the owners of a domain name should they want to get in touch. With an offer to buy maybe!

Publishing all your private domain registration information on the Internet exposes you to scammers, spammers, unsolicited email, identity thieves, and domain hijackers. Fraudsters can contact you when your domain name is about to expire and try to get your name. Or, attempt an unauthorised transfer. Recovering your domain name can be costly. Not to mention the damage to your business when your website goes offline. Check out our blog post about domain hijacking for more details.

Our private domain registration feature adds another level of security to prevent domain hijacking. It can make a legitimate transfer a bit harder, but it stops fraudulent or accidental ones. It minimises spam email, and irritating marketing calls. All the junk will be sent to us rather than you, and then we’ll forward genuine and important email to you.

If you’re registering a new domain name, you can enable domain privacy on the Configure Your Order page.

For several domain names, log in to your account and find your registered domains in your control panel. You can then choose one or all and enable domain privacy.
