Domain Security: How To Enable Domain Privacy

Domain Privacy and Protection services are essential to safeguard the personal details of domain registrants. Typically, upon registering a domain, your contact information is listed in the public WHOIS database by default, exposing you to potential spam, scams, and identity theft risks. Services designed to mitigate these risks counteract by providing an additional layer of privacy and security.
