WHOIS Privacy and Contact Information Print

  • 0

What is WHOIS?

WHOIS is a public database that shows who owns a domain name. When you register a domain, your contact information (name, address, email, phone) is recorded in the WHOIS database.

ID Protection

DomainWorld offers ID Protection as an add-on for supported TLDs. When enabled, your personal information is replaced with proxy contact details in the public WHOIS database, protecting your privacy.

Accuracy Requirement

ICANN requires that your WHOIS contact information is accurate and up to date. Providing false information can result in domain cancellation. You can use ID Protection to hide your details from public view while still maintaining accurate records with the registrar.
