WhoisProtector
Keep your Domain Contact Information Private!
Every time you register a domain name, your personal contact information is available on the Internet for anyone to see, including spammers, identity thieves or telemarketers. Now there’s a way to protect yourself and your domain name. Get private domain name registration through Hostway and WhoisProtector!
The Truth About Owning a Domain Name
Did you know that ICANN, the international governing body for domain names, requires every registrar to maintain a publicly accessible “Whois” database displaying all contact information for all domain names registered? There are good reasons for this, but your contact information does not have to be freely available to just anybody.
Protect Yourself
Now, you can keep your contact information from getting into the wrong hands. When you purchase a private domain name with Hostway, our partner WhoisProtector, provides its contact information in the Whois database in place of yours — so your contact information is kept private — and you retain full control over your domain name without the risk.
