Domain privacy - protect your identity

When you register a domain name, your contact details are available through a publicly-accessible database called WhoIs. This database, like a phone book for domain names, is managed by the domain registrar and allows people to find contact details of the owner of any domain name.

However, it comes with a downside – people can access your contact details and do whatever they like with them. And as the database stores your name, phone number, address and email address, this is not a good thing!

Our domain privacy feature hides all contact information from within these publicly accessible databases. It's the perfect solution for anyone who does not want their contact details available on the internet.

  • Protect against identity theft
  • Reduce the risk of nuisance sales phone calls and letters
  • Reduce the risk of email spam
  • Reduce the risk of fraudulent domain transfers

For just £4.99pa, we'll hide your contact details from the publicly-accessible WhoIs databases. It's available with most domain names and is free for consumers who register .co.uk domain names.

How to order

Simply enable domain privacy when you register a new domain name, or activate it on any existing domain name within your Fasthosts control panel.
