For many hosting companies, "Domain Privacy" is a hidden fee added at the end of your purchase. At Nixzoehost, we take a different approach. We believe that protecting your personal data is a fundamental right of every website owner, not a luxury feature.
Do You Provide Free Domain Privacy?
Yes! Nixzoehost provides Free Domain Privacy Protection (WHOIS Privacy) for all eligible domain names registered or transferred to our platform.
As long as your domain remains active with us, your privacy protection will remain active at no additional cost. Unlike competitors who charge between $10 and $15 per year for this service, we include it as part of our commitment to security.
What is included in the Free Privacy?
-
Data Masking: We replace your name, home address, phone, and email in the public WHOIS database.
-
Spam Filtering: We provide a proxy email address that filters out marketing junk before it ever reaches your real inbox.
-
Automatic Renewal: Your privacy protection is synced with your domain. When your domain renews, your privacy protection renews automaticallystill for $0.
Exceptions: Are there domains that don't allow privacy?
While we provide the service for free, some Registry Operators (the organizations that manage specific extensions) have strict rules that forbid hiding ownership information.
| Domain Extension | Privacy Status | Reason |
| .com, .net, .org | Supported | Standard global extensions allow full privacy. |
| .ca (Canada) | Limited | CIRA provides privacy automatically for individuals, but businesses are required to be public. |
| .us (USA) | Prohibited | The US Department of Commerce requires all .us owners to have public information. |
| .uk (United Kingdom) | Limited | Nominet hides addresses for individuals, but not for companies. |
| .io, .me, .co | Supported | Most modern TLDs fully support our free privacy service. |
How to claim your Free Privacy
-
New Domains: When you search for and register a new domain at Nixzoehost, "ID Protection" will be automatically added to your cart at a $0.00 price point.
-
Transfers: If you transfer an existing domain to us, you can toggle the Privacy Protection ON during the transfer process.
-
Existing Domains: If you already have a domain with us but didn't enable privacy, log in to your Client Area > Domains > Manage, and look for the Add-ons or ID Protection tab to enable it for free.
Nixzoehost Value Guarantee: If you are currently paying for privacy at another registrar (like GoDaddy or Namecheap), transferring your domain to Nixzoehost will not only save you that yearly fee but will also add an extra year to your domain's expiration date!
