What is WHOIS ID Protection?

WHOIS ID Protection (also known as domain privacy or WHOIS privacy) is a service that shields your personal contact information from public WHOIS databases. When you register a domain name, ICANN regulations require that your name, address, email, and phone number are recorded in a publicly searchable WHOIS database. This information is visible to anyone who performs a WHOIS lookup on your domain, which can lead to spam emails, unsolicited phone calls, junk mail, and even identity theft. With WHOIS ID Protection enabled, your personal details are replaced with the contact information of a privacy service provider. Emails sent to the proxy address are forwarded to your real email, so you never miss legitimate communications while staying protected from spam and data harvesters.
