What is Whois?
When you register a domain, your personal data (name, email, phone, address) is stored in a public database called Whois. Anyone can consult it on sites like whois.domaintools.com.
Why Activate Privacy Protection?
- 🛡️ Protects your personal data from the general public
- 📧 Avoids spam and unwanted emails
- 📞 Prevents unsolicited commercial calls
- 🔒 Reduces the risk of phishing attempts
Activate Protection at PlatiniumHost
- Access the Client Area
- Go to My Domains
- Click on your domain
- Look for the option "Privacy Protection ID" or "Whois Privacy"
- Activate it
✅ Activated. Your real data will be replaced by generic information in the public Whois. You remain the legal owner of the domain.
ℹ️ Note: Whois protection is not available for all domains. .ve domains and some ccTLDs have their own privacy policies.
