Spam and cold calls

Domains
Domain privacy
Keep your name, address, email, and phone out of the public registration record. Privacy is $4.99 per year on extensions that allow it.
Optional at checkout · Billed yearly with the domain · Can be turned on later from your account
Why the public record matters
Physical address exposure
A home or office address in the public record can show up in searches for years.
Identity misuse
Name, address, and phone together make phishing and spoofed accounts easier.
Unwanted contact
Anyone with a grievance about a website can message the registrant listed in the directory.
How privacy works
You register or transfer
Choose privacy at checkout on an extension that allows it, or turn it on later from your account.
Public contact is replaced
The public record shows the privacy service contact instead of your name, address, email, and phone.
Mail still reaches you
Messages sent to the privacy email are forwarded to the address on your account when the service supports forwarding.
The registrar keeps the real record
The sponsoring accredited registrar holds your real registrant data for disputes and registry requirements.

What you get
Less spam
Scrapers that mine public registration directories no longer get your personal email or phone.
Address stays private
Your home or office address is not published next to the domain.
Turn on or off
When the extension allows it, you can enable or disable privacy from the domain page in your account.
Works with transfers
Privacy can be added when you move a name here, then left on for later years.
Does not break DNS
Nameservers and host records stay under your control. Privacy only changes the contact fields.
Honest pricing
$4.99 per year per domain. The fee is shown in the cart before you pay.
How to turn it on
New registration
Search a name, add it to the cart, and leave privacy checked when the extension supports it.
Transfer in
Start a transfer with the authorization code. Add privacy on the order when the extension allows it.
Existing domain
Open the domain in your account and turn privacy on. The yearly fee is confirmed before the change.
Some country-code extensions refuse privacy by registry rule. If privacy is unavailable, checkout will not offer it for that name.

Domain pricesQuestions
What is domain privacy?
It replaces your personal contact in the public registration record with the privacy service’s contact details so visitors and marketers do not harvest yours.
Is privacy free?
No. Privacy is $4.99 per year for each domain that supports it. The cart shows the fee before you pay.
Does privacy hide the domain name?
No. The domain, nameservers, status, and dates stay public. Only personal contact fields are replaced.
Can I still get important email?
Yes. Notices about the domain can be forwarded to the email on your account. Keep that address current.
Which extensions support privacy?
Most generic endings do. Some country-code registries refuse privacy by rule. Checkout only offers privacy when the extension allows it.
Who holds my real contact details?
The sponsoring accredited registrar named in the footer. Reginova does not publish them in the public directory when privacy is on.
Can I turn privacy off later?
Yes, when the registrar allows it. Turning it off publishes the contact on file. You will be asked to confirm before the change.
Do I need privacy if I use a company address?
It still helps. Company emails and phones are scraped too. Privacy keeps those fields off the public record.
