When you want to register a domain name, the registries require a set of contact information from you in order to complete the registration. All the information you provide becomes available to the public through the registries' WHOIS databases once the domain is registered. The availability of these databases not only jeopardize the privacy of your contact information, they also tend to attract spammers and other web users with malicious intention.
To combat this issue, Namespro.ca offers all our users a solution called Private WHOIS. This feature protects your contact information from the public while maintaining your ownership over your domain. The protection will last for the entire lifetime of your registrant profile, and the level of protection can also be modified or deleted at any given time according to your needs.
Note:
.ca domains only - According to CIRA's policy, the WHOIS information of an "individual" registrant (i.e. Canadian citizen, permanent resident, legal representative and aboriginal person) is automatically hidden and privatized. No action or purchased is required for these registrant types. However, this policy does NOT apply to "non-individual" registrant types (i.e. "Corporation", "Association", etc.) nor any other domain extensions (e.g. dot-com, dot-org, dot-net, etc.).
Note:
.us and .co.uk domains only - According to the rules from their respective registries, private WHOIS protection cannot be applied to domains under these 2 extensions.
