Whonami-You should purchase private registration for your domain

Private Registration is available for many domain name extensions. However, some registries do not allow it. If the registry does not allow privacy, the Privacy tab is not available in the domain name’s Upgrade section of the Domain Manager.

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. Next to Domains, click Manage.

Which steps you’ll use next will depend on the number of domains in your account:

6 Domains or Fewer

  1. Select the domain name you want to use, click Text Icon (Settings) and select Domain Settings.
  2. Under Contact Information, click Make Private.
  3. Click Add, and then do one of the following:
    • If you already have a DBP account that you want to use, select it from the list.
    • Create New — Select this option if you do not have an existing DBP account. DBP creates a new account for you, and then emails you the user name, password, and a link to the DBP website. Please retain this information for future reference!
    • Other Existing DBP Account — If you have an existing DBP account that you want to use but it does not display in the list, select this option, and then enter your login information in the User Name and Password fields.
  4. Click Checkout and complete the checkout process.

More than 6 Domains (i.e. 7 or More)

  1. Select the domain name you want to add privacy to.
  2. Click Upgrade.
  3. From the Registration tab, select Private Registration.
  4. Click Add, and then do one of the following:
    • If you already have a DBP account that you want to use, select it from the list.
    • Create New — Select this option if you do not have an existing DBP account. DBP creates a new account for you, and then emails you the user name, password, and a link to the DBP website. Please retain this information for future reference!
    • Other Existing DBP Account — If you have an existing DBP account that you want to use but it does not display in the list, select this option, and then enter your login information in the User Name and Password fields.
  5. Click Checkout, and complete the checkout process.

It can take 24 to 48 hours for the DBP information to display in the Whois database.
