WHOIS Privacy

 

■ Service Description


The WHOIS privacy protection service is provided to protect your personal information from being exposed to the public.
ICANN, the international organization which is responsible for the domain names’ policies and operations, requires every
registrar (domain name registration services provider) to maintain domain name holders’ contact information including your
name, phone number, address, and email address accessible on the Internet. Our WHOIS privacy protection service can hide
most of your personal information in the publicly accessible database and prevent it from being used by malicious spams
or domain name-related harassment.

Price: US$ 5.0 for one year
