Domain names at low prices

WHOIS lookup allows any person to search for information about a website including but not limited to domain name registry, DNS record and domain renewal details.

WHOIS privacy is a service that keeps your personal information private when you register domain names.

Personal information may refer to your name, address, email address, telephone number and more. This information is viewable through the publicly-searchable WHOIS database. One can use the WHOIS service to search for specific information about a certain website and view its DNS info by running a DNS records lookup.

We can help you keep your details private and safe by replacing them with the details of our privacy service.

Once you have purchased WHOIS privacy, you can turn it on and off whenever you like. However, if you turn it off, your personal details will be publicly visible again.

WHOIS privacy is available for .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .tel, .cc, .tv, .me, .pro and .co domains.

You can also hide your details if you are an individual registering a .uk domain. To do that, you can use the .uk WHOIS opt-out, which is completely free. You'll be given this option when you register domain names with an .uk extension.

You can buy WHOIS privacy annually. Please note that the costs for this service are not refundable.

This means that if you purchase our privacy service for a domain you are planning to let expire, you may not claim a refund for the period after your domain expires.

We use a privacy service, contactprivacy.com, to hide your details. The service's information will be displayed instead of your own details.

You will receive an email address so people with legitimate queries about your domain can still get in touch with you. This will forward messages onto your main mail address.

No. There are strict regulations on what information can be displayed. It is important for members of the public to be able to contact you if they have a question about your domain. The contactprivacy.com details ensure this is still possible.

Yes. The service simply protects your privacy. It does not change who owns your domain name.

To check if a domain name is available, use our domain checker tool. Simply type the name you want into the search box and if it's available, go for it!

Many of the popular domain names will already be registered, so be prepared to use your imagination and consider alternative domain endings (like: .eu, .biz, .uk.com).

On 123-reg you can easily register domain names. Once you hit the search button, the available domain names will be displayed on the page and you can choose which one(s) you want to buy. Your new domain names may take up to 48 hours to complete the registration process.

Domain name renewal is automatic unless you tell us otherwise and choose to renew it manually. No matter the option, we will send you a reminder close to the expiration date of your domain.
