When you register a domain, your contact information becomes publicly available in the WHOIS database. WHOIS privacy protection replaces your personal details with proxy information to protect your privacy.
Why use WHOIS privacy?
- Protect your personal email from spam
- Hide your physical address from public view
- Prevent unwanted sales calls and marketing
- Reduce the risk of identity theft
Enabling WHOIS privacy
WHOIS privacy is free for all domains registered with Pakaya Domains. To enable it:
- Go to your Dashboard > Domains
- Select the domain you want to protect
- Navigate to the Privacy tab
- Click "Enable WHOIS Privacy"
WHOIS privacy is included free with all Pakaya Domains domain registrations. Some TLDs may have restrictions on privacy protection due to registry requirements.
