When you register a domain name, your personal information is added to a public database known as WHOIS. Domain privacy protection can help keep your information private. Here’s what you need to know about domain name privacy.
Explanation of Domain Privacy Protection
Domain privacy protection replaces your personal information in the WHOIS database with the information of a proxy service. This keeps your contact details private and reduces the risk of spam and identity theft.
