Protect your personal details with WHOIS privacy

Did you know that when you register a domain name, the registration details are available to anyone who searches a public database online?

It's called the WHOIS database. The details stored could include your name, address, email and phone number.

Search the WHOIS database

Enter your registered domain - and see what information is publicly displayed about you.

Some spammers mine this for email addresses. It can even be used by scammers looking to steal or transfer your domain name.


Protect your personal details

The privacy service from 123-reg stops your personal or business details from being found. It replaces your details with generic information from our privacy service and costs only £4.99 a year.
