Free Whois Privacy

Spammers & scammers & fraudsters, oh my!

Our free WHOIS Privacy service helps protect your personal information from being visible on the internet by hiding your domain’s contact details, helping to block spam, scams, and more before it starts.

Keep your private information private

Why do you need WHOIS Privacy?

When you register a domain, you are required to have a registrant contact listed in a publicly searchable database called WHOIS. Unfortunately, various ne’er-do-wells can see what is listed in WHOIS, and use this information to inundate you with calls and emails.

That’s where our WHOIS Privacy service — Private By Design, LLC — comes in. For all domains that support it, we’ll publish in the public WHOIS database the details of our Private By Design as the registrant rather than your real info, stopping bad actors in their tracks.

You'll still receive any important communications related to your domain name; it'll just be forwarded to you through Private by Design. That way, all your personal information will remain private.
