Four things you never want in a public database.
WHOIS records are indexed, cached and resold. Privacy proxies your contact details before that ever happens.
Your full name
Replaced by our privacy proxy contact — you stay anonymous.
Your email address
Spam-free forwarding email routes real messages to you.
Your phone number
Robo-callers and cold sales lists never see the real digits.
Your home / office address
Your physical location stays private, not one Google search away.
Public WHOIS is scraped every hour of every day.
Without privacy, every field you submit to your registrar is queryable by anyone in the world — and harvested by bots the moment your domain goes live.
Protect a domainIdentity theft
Public WHOIS records are a goldmine for scammers building fake IDs.
Domain-hijack phishing
Fake 'renewal notices' target owners whose email is exposed in WHOIS.
Spam & robocalls
Marketing lists scrape WHOIS daily. Exposed contacts get hammered.
Stalking & harassment
For personal blogs and creators, a home address in WHOIS is a real risk.
A privacy proxy, not a shell company.
1. Registrar receives your real data
We store your real contact details securely — required by ICANN for verification.
2. Public WHOIS shows proxy details
The world sees Host Tonic's privacy proxy in every public WHOIS query.
3. Legit mail still reaches you
Legal notices and buyer inquiries are forwarded to your real inbox — spam is filtered out.
Privacy questions, plain answers.
Is WHOIS privacy really free?+
Yes. Every eligible domain registered or transferred to Host Tonic gets WHOIS privacy free for life — not just the first year. There are no hidden renewals or upsells.
Which domains support WHOIS privacy?+
Most gTLDs (.com, .net, .org, .io, .app, .dev, .ai, .co, etc.) support privacy. Some ccTLDs (like .us, .in, .de, and .com.bd) are restricted by their registry rules — we show you exactly which ones support it before you buy.
Will privacy affect my domain's legitimacy or SEO?+
No. WHOIS privacy is fully ICANN-compliant, used by millions of domains, and has no effect on SEO, deliverability, or trust signals. It only hides your personal details from the public directory.
Can I still be reached through my domain?+
Yes. Our proxy forwards legitimate contact emails (legal notices, buyer inquiries) to your real inbox while blocking spam and scrapers.
Do I have to turn it on manually?+
No. Privacy is enabled by default the moment your domain becomes active. You can toggle it off any time from your Host Tonic dashboard.
