Domain Names - WHOIS Privacy
Protect your personal
information with WHOIS Privacy!
Every time you register a domain name, your name,
address and phone number are entered into a public
database that can be viewed and used by anyone. This
exposes your personal information to spammers, telemarketers
and other undesired third parties.
There is a way to protect your personal information.
HostSellers’ WHOIS Privacy service allows you
to retain your domain name without having to expose
your personal information to the public.
Here’s how
it works:
• Your domain registration information, including the Administrative, Billing
and Technical contacts are masked with generic information within public WHOIS
databases. You still retain full ownership and control of your domain name.
• Requests to view your domain’s contact information are filtered
and forwarded to you.
• You decide whether to respond.
• WHOIS Privacy is available for .com, .net, .org, .info and .biz domain
extensions.
Ordering Process
• WHOIS Privacy can only be added at the time of a new or renewal registration.
• When you order WHOIS Privacy a confirmation Email is sent to the domain's
Administrative Contact. You then have 10 days to confirm your order or the request
is void. This process is meant to ensure that WHOIS Privacy is not enabled without
the Domain Name owner's consent.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FOR .CA REGISTRATIONS
As of June 10, 2008 WHOIS Privacy for the .CA domain
is controlled by CIRA,
the .CA Registry. By default, all individual registrations
are given privacy protection with an option to opt-out.
Non individual registrations (ie: business, agencies)
are not protected by defaulkt but may apply for WHOIS
Privacy. For more information please visit the CIRA
