Can Whois information be hidden?
Yes, Whois information can be hidden, usually through "Whois Privacy Protection" (or "Domain Name Privacy Protection" service).
What is Whois Privacy Protection?
Whois Privacy Protection is a service that allows domain name registrants to hide their personal or company information. This service is usually provided by domain name registrars. It replaces the owner information of the domain name with the agent information of the registrar, thereby protecting the privacy of the domain name owner.
Advantages of Whois privacy protection:
Protect privacy: It can avoid publicly displaying personal or company details, such as address, email, etc., to reduce spam and harassment.
Avoid potential security threats: By hiding the owner information, the risk of security issues such as domain name squatting, fraud, and abuse is reduced.
Reduce unnecessary calls and emails: Some people or organizations may contact the domain name owner directly through public Whois information. Privacy protection can reduce such interference.
How Whois privacy protection works:
After enabling privacy protection during registration, Whois queries will return the contact information of the agent company (such as the registrar) instead of the personal or company information of the actual domain name owner.
The agent company will accept all communications about the domain name (such as emails, phone calls, etc.) and forward them to the domain name owner according to the specific situation.
Does privacy protection apply to all domain names?
Applicable situations: Most domain name registrars provide Whois privacy protection services, especially for common domain name suffixes (such as .com, .net, .org, etc.).
Limitations: Registration rules in some countries and regions require Whois information to be public, and privacy protection cannot be used. For example, some countries' national domain names (such as .us, .cn, etc.) may require real information disclosure. In these cases, even if you want to hide information, you still need to provide real contact information.
Cost issues: Some domain name registrars provide free Whois privacy protection services, while others charge additional fees.
How to turn on Whois privacy protection?
Choose a registrar that supports privacy protection: Make sure your domain name registrar supports Whois privacy protection services.
Purchase privacy protection services: When registering a domain name, select the option to enable privacy protection. If it is after the domain name is registered, you can usually purchase and enable the service in the registrar's management control panel.
Check the privacy protection status: After the service is enabled, you can check the domain name information through the Whois query tool to confirm whether privacy protection is enabled.
