What's in the WHOIS?

Every domain in the world is in the WHOIS database, which contains the contact information of the registrant. ICANN requires that every domain's WHOIS details are correct.

The WHOIS database is used to transfer a domain, for criminal investigations, and by the public.

So anyone can see my contact details?

Yes. If you don't want anyone to see your contact information, we offer an ID Protection service for select domains that masks your identity in the WHOIS database. You can buy ID Protection when registering your domain or when managing an existing domain in your account.
