The internet can be scary. Make sure you’re fully protected.

GoDaddy domains come with Basic Privacy Protection*, but our Full and Ultimate Domain Protection & Security solutions provide the protection you need. They not only protect against threats like domain hijackers but can even prevent honest mistakes like accidental domain transfers or domain loss due to an expired credit card.

Wait… There’s still information I need to protect?
When you register a domain with any registrar, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) requires accredited registrars to publish this information in the public WHOIS database. Regulations vary around the globe, but GoDaddy automatically redacts your name, address, phone number and email address through GoDaddy’s Basic Privacy & Protection*. Our Domain Privacy & Protection solutions ensure that your remaining details, such as organization and state/province are also redacted.​
