Why do I need WHOIS Privacy?

Protect Your Personal Information
With Vivahost’s WHOIS Privacy, your name, email, and contact details are hidden from the public. This keeps your identity secure and shields you from unwanted exposure, keeping both your business and personal life private.
Prevent Unsolicited Spam
Without WHOIS Privacy, your domain’s contact information is open for anyone to see, leading to a flood of spam emails and cold calls. Vivahost blocks that by ensuring only essential parties can reach you, helping you avoid distractions.
Defend Against Cyber Attacks
Hackers often target domain owners using publicly available WHOIS details. Vivahost’s WHOIS Privacy protects your business by keeping sensitive ownership data out of reach, making it harder for bad actors to exploit you.
Eliminate Unwanted Harassment
If your domain’s contact info is publicly visible, you risk harassment or unwanted attention. Vivahost’s WHOIS Privacy keeps that risk at bay, protecting your business from unnecessary threats and distractions.
Prevent Domain Hijacking
Vivahost helps you safeguard your domain by hiding critical ownership details, reducing the risk of fraudulent domain transfers or hijacking attempts, giving you peace of mind that your site remains yours.
Maintain Full Anonymity
Whether you're running a passion project or a business that requires discretion, Vivahost’s WHOIS Privacy ensures that your personal identity stays confidential, allowing you to focus on growth without public exposure.
