What is domain privacy protection and why do I need it?

Domain privacy protection is a service that keeps your personal information private when you register a domain name. It prevents your name, address, phone number, and email from being publicly accessible in the WHOIS database.

How does it work?

When you enable domain privacy protection, the registrar replaces your personal information with their own. This way, anyone looking up your domain will see the registrar's details instead of yours.

Is it worth the extra cost?

Yes, if you value your privacy and want to avoid spam or potential identity theft, the cost is often worth it. It adds a layer of security to your online presence.

Can I still receive emails if I use this service?

Absolutely! You can still receive emails. The registrar typically provides a forwarding service, so emails sent to your domain will be forwarded to your actual email address.
