What is domain name privacy protection (Whois Privacy) and the necessity of setting privacy protection

At noon, I saw netizens chatting in the group and mentioned whether it was necessary to set privacy protection for the website domain name. In fact, most of our domain name registrars provide free privacy protection( Domestic and foreign domain name registrars that we still use these years )。 It's just that their setting characteristics are different. For example, some service providers can check privacy protection by default, and some need us to add orders separately.

Of course, for example, some of our domestic domain name registrars do not provide them, for example, they do CN domain name is not supported. In fact, in the early years, Domain name privacy protection ( Whois Privacy )Separate opening requires payment. If at that time a business provided free privacy protection, it would indeed attract users to buy their home domain name to a certain extent. After all, it is also a value-added service.

that Domain name privacy protection What is it? If it is necessary for us to add it to the website, I will talk about it briefly here. If we need it, we will see if you can open it yourself. If not, you can also open it.

First, what is domain name privacy protection

English name Whois Privacy If we register with a foreign domain name registrar, we will see this character when his background interface is in English. Privacy protection is used to protect our privacy. If privacy protection is not enabled, we can view the information of all the people in the domain name through WHOIS, such as name, email, address, etc.

If we open it, we can't see it.

 What is domain name privacy protection

We can see the domain names with privacy protection, but we can't see the information through WHOIS, only the general privacy protection information of the domain name registrar. This is called privacy protection.

Second, what is the role of privacy protection

The role of privacy protection is to protect our personal information. For example, it is impossible to query everyone through the domain name. Unless we inquire from other information channels. This can reduce the problem of our domain name personal information mailbox being sent advertising information, including the disclosure of our personal information. Of course, some of our information is relatively confidential, including some websites that do not want to be seen by others.

Third, the necessity of setting privacy protection

If we really need to protect the privacy of domain name information, we will choose a domain name registrar that supports free privacy protection. But basically most domain name registrars support free. However, it seems that I can see the names of domestic registrars, but personal information can be hidden. However, some domain name suffixes do not support privacy protection. There is no way to do this. The policy is set.

If there is any, Laozuo personally suggested that the protection should be opened. If there is no protection, it doesn't matter. In any case, we can operate in a formal way. If our mailbox is important, we can use an alternate mailbox as the WHOIS information of the domain name.

On the issue of domain name privacy protection, we look at our respective needs. For example, when we transfer out the domain name, we need to remove the privacy protection, otherwise we cannot receive the confirmation email.
