How can people contact me if Privacy Protection is enabled for my domain name(s)?

Once Privacy Protection is enabled for your domain name, the Contact Details for your domain name in any Whois Lookup query would display generic details. If someone attempts to contact you at these details, this is how they will be greeted:

  • Letters, Couriers delivered at the Postal Address would not be accepted. This implies, that you will not be contactable at the address displayed in your domain name Whois.
  • Telephone Callers would be advised to email you at the email address displayed in the Whois of your domain name.
  • Email sent to the email address listed in the Whois, will get a response specifying an unbranded URL, which needs to be visited by this person. Upon visiting the site, they would be able to mention their query in a secure form, while specifying the type of Contact (Registrant, Administrative, Technical, Billing) they wish to email. The contents of the submitted form will then be emailed to the selected Contact's (Registrant, Administrative, Technical or Billing) address, as specified in your Control Panel.

Therefore, you are assured of still being contactable, even though your Contact Details are not visible in the Whois of your domain name.

Important: With the exception of the following - all domain names registered through Studio 457 have Privacy Protection enabled by default. This is free of charge. If for some reason you do not wish to utilize this valuable service, please open a new support ticket and we will disable it for you.

Privacy Protection is not available for the following domain names due to restrictions enforced through ICANN’s contract with the applicable Sponsors/Registries.
