WHOIS Privacy Protection
WHOIS privacy (also called domain privacy) replaces your personal contact information in the public WHOIS database with the contact information of a forwarding service. This helps protect you from:
- • Spam emails and phone calls
- • Identity theft and fraud
- • Unwanted marketing
- • Domain hijacking attempts
- • Public exposure of personal data
