What is WHOIS?

The WHOIS database or directory is a list where you can find each domain currently registered in the world. To know who owns a particular domain, all you have to do is check it in the box above.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) requires accredited registrars (such as NHostBD) to publish the contact information of the person who registered it at the time of registration, as well as the date of creation and expiration thereof and other related data.

So can anyone see my information?

The short answer is yes. The name, address and phone number you send when registering your domain are accessible to everyone and at any time. This can be good news if you have a domain name that you want to sell. Or it can be bad news if your name and contact information are used by a spammer, hacker or other cybercriminals.

How can I protect my privacy?

So that your personal data does not fall into the wrong hands, NHostBD.com offers a Private Registry service that will allow you to hide them from the eyes of the curious.
