How does Whois Privacy work?

Whois Privacy works by replacing your personal details, such as address, telephone number, etc with Easyspace’s own details. Enquiries sent to these Whois details are then sent on to you by Easyspace.

Who can use Whois Privacy?

Any customer with a .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .tv, .cc or .name domain name can benefit from the peace of mind Whois Privacy brings.

For how long can I protect my domain name?

Whois Privacy can be applied to your domain for any period from one month to 10 years, on a per month basis, per domain name.For example, if your domain is registered for 5 years, you can add Whois Privacy for anything between one month and 5 years.
