Thread: Hiding WHOIS Information

Is it possible to hide your name and address on your site's WHOIS information? If I created a website, I wouldn't want surfers potentially getting my name or other information.

Yes, you can buy WhoIsGuard.

As Megaworldhosting said you can buy WhoIsGaurd to protect your WhoIS however, if you register your domains via www.namecheap.com you can get free WhoIsGaurd normally.

Even if you hide it, you can still get your hands on it.

Agreed, plenty of sites cache this data.

If you're looking to provide hosting services and at the same time hide your whois information, I question how you expect to build trust with your customers?

Makes sense.

Unless your site is porn or torrent or downloads why hide? Probably to avoid spam.

Anyways I'm not sure about wikileaks Julian Assange if the guy did expose himself deliberately or the feds really hunted him down.

Yes, It is possible to hide your personal information from whois database. Get Private domain registration service from Tucktail.com.your personal informations are protected by their affiliate company, Domains By Proxy. you get two unique and powerful layers of security.

Enabling domain privacy ensures you that your private information are not visible to others during Whois searches. You can ensure your domain privacy by having a Whois lookup from WhoisXY.com.

whois, provides a software with which you can hide your info on their website, I am currently using it, btw why you wanna hide your info..

You can purchase whois guard and your data will not show.

Remember that using fake information in your WHOIS can make you loose your domain.

Best option is the get WHOIS protection from the company where you registered your domain.
