Does my contact information have to be public?

Understanding Contact Information Privacy for Domain Names

You might be wondering if your contact information has to be publicly accessible when you register a domain name. Here's the scoop:

ICANN's Contact Information Requirement
ICANN, the overseeing body for domain names, mandates that valid contact information must be maintained and made available in a public database for all domain name registrations. It's a requirement aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability in the digital realm.

Privacy Option: Direct Privacy
But don't worry; we've got you covered. Directnic offers an option called Direct Privacy, which allows you to keep your personal contact information private. This service shields your details from public view while still complying with ICANN's regulations.
