How do I enable WHOIS privacy protection? Print

  • 0

WHOIS privacy (ID protection) hides your personal contact details from public WHOIS lookups, replacing them with the privacy service's info.

  1. Log in to the Toshost client area.
  2. Go to Domains > My Domains and select yourdomain.com.
  3. Open the Addons or domain management section.
  4. Enable ID Protection / WHOIS Privacy and confirm any charge.

Once active, your name, address, email, and phone number are masked in public WHOIS results. Note that a few TLDs (especially some country-code domains) don't support privacy, and registries may still publish limited data. If you don't see the option for your domain, it may not be supported for that TLD - open a ticket and we'll confirm. Remember to keep privacy disabled briefly if a transfer requires access to the registrant email.
