When registering a domain, it's natural to wonder: Is Whois Privacy included automatically, or do I need to purchase it separately? Let’s clarify how it works.
What is Whois Privacy?
Whois Privacy is a service that hides your personal information (name, address, phone number, email) from the public WHOIS database. It helps protect your privacy and significantly reduces spam, scam calls, and unwanted emails.
Is Whois Privacy included with the domain?
In most cases, Whois Privacy is provided free of charge. Many domain zones (TLDs) include it by default. However, not all domain zones support privacy protection. Some zones — such as certain country-code domains like .us or .ca — may prohibit the use of Whois Privacy due to registry policies.
How can I check if a domain zone supports Whois Privacy?
There are several ways to check:
During the registration process on regery.com, you’ll see whether Whois Privacy is supported next to the domain name. This is typically shown with a label or icon.
Check the registration rules and procedures on the Regery website. You'll find details about each zone’s privacy support.
We strongly recommend contacting regery.com support before purchasing, especially if you're unsure whether Whois Privacy is available for a specific zone. They can provide a quick and accurate answer.
Can I purchase Whois Privacy separately?
If your domain zone supports the privacy option but it was not activated during the purchase, you can contact regery.com support to check whether Whois Privacy is available for that specific domain zone.
Whois Privacy is usually included for free, but not all domain zones support it. When registering a domain:
Review the domain zone details carefully
Check whether Whois Privacy is supported next to the domain name during checkout
When in doubt — always contact Regery support
This way, you can be sure your personal data stays protected after domain registration.
