Domain WHOIS opt-out and privacy from Get Dotted
|
As standard with any domain name registrar, any domain names you purchase must show your personal details such as Name, Address and so on. These details are then made publicly viewable to absolutely anyone via the WHOIS database.
With GetDotted's WHOIS Domain Privacy service, you can prevent your personal details from appearing online, and depending on which domain name type you require this privacy, it could cost you nothing at all! Free domain name privacy is available for a few types of domains, and will prevent any details from appearing on the WHOIS record whatsoever. As well as our free WHOIS Domain Privacy service, other domain name types allow us to change the WHOIS record details so your personal details remain private, yet you still receive legitimate communications. This is charged at £2.99 per year, but could be as cheap as £2.39 for a 5 year subscription! |

For certain types of domain names (see above), you may now apply a free WHOIS Opt-Out to your domain. This allows you to hide your contact details (which normally appear in the public WHOIS domain register), so that marketing organisations and individuals cannot compromise your privacy. For some domain types like .uk domains (see above for extensive list), this free WHOIS opt-out is available. For others, our low-cost Domain WHOIS Privacy service is available from as little as £2.39 per year, and offers some great benefits:
