The WHOIS information associated with your domain name becomes publicly disclosed to everybody after the registration process itself. You can avoid that by ordering an Whois Privacy Protection service for your domain name. With it, your own personal or corporate details, including your name, e–mail and street address, will be replaced with fictional information. To order Whois Privacy Protection for your domain name, just choose the domain name and click the Whois Privacy Protection icon to activate this service.

This particular service is available with most of the universal and country–specific TLD extensions that we are offering. Make sure you go to the TLD information page on our site to learn which domain names are Whois Privacy Protection–eligible.

With the aid of the Wildcard DNS functionality, you will be able to make all your active sub–domains forward to the index page of your site. For example, if a person types any.domain.com or smth.domain.com, they’ll go to http://domain.com/.
