Unstoppable Domains provides free Whois privacy protection for all eligible DNS domains, and it is enabled by default to help keep your personal contact information secure.
Whois is a public directory required by ICANN, the global organization that coordinates the Domain Name System. When you register a traditional DNS domain, ICANN requires certain registrant details, such as name, email, and country, to be collected and made available unless privacy controls are applied.
Whois privacy replaces your personal data with proxy information, shielding your identity while still meeting ICANN’s compliance requirements for domain ownership verification and transfer processes.
For our terms and conditions on Whois Privacy (Proxy Service), please see this article.
Note: If you want instructions on how to update your Whois Contacts, please see this guide.
