redacted for privacy что значит
Вся правда о Whois и защите ID домена
Время чтения: 5 минут
После регистрации доменного имени вся ваша информация добавляется в публичную общедоступную базу данных, именуемой Whois. Очень важно предпринять меры предосторожности и защитить вашу конфиденциальность от злоумышленников, хакеров и спамеров а также конкурентов, которые могут изучить открытые данные для построения тактики соперничества и выработки собственной стратегии. В этой статье мы ответим на вопросы, что же такое Whois и зачем нужна услуга защиты ID домена.
Что такое Whois?
База данных Whois включает в себя информацию о всех существующих зарегистрированных в мире доменах. В записях Whois отображается имя и личная контактная информация владельца домена, включая то, на кого и на какое время он зарегистрирован, а также email-адрес, номер контактного телефона и место размещения компании.
Информация о домене
В примере информация, которая является полностью доступной после регистрации домена:
Registrant Contact Information:
На заметку, кроме прочего, в разделе имеется две информационные строки. Первая, это строка Expires On или «Годен до», которая обозначает, когда доменное имя будет истекать. Если вдруг, вы не продлите домен до этой даты, он перейдет к циклу истечения и удаления, в ходе которого может быть перехваченным. А вторая, это Domain Status или «Статус домена», в котором в основном указан статус clientTransferProhibited, отображающий, что доменное имя не может быть передано другому регистратору доменов.
Информация о владельце домена
Следующая часть содержит вашу личную информацию. Вот так выглядит первый раздел персональных данных:
Имя регистратора может быть отдельным физическим лицом или должностью, к примеру, Администратор системы. Поле Организация – это название компании, если таковое имеется.
Аналогичная информация касается разделов Administrative Contact Information и Technical Contact Information. Раздел «Контакты администратора» должен содержать информацию об администраторе. В зависимости от регистратора, технический контракт может содержать информацию хостинга, либо вашу информацию.
Почему нельзя использовать вымышленные данные?
Как владелец домена, вы должны предоставить точную и актуальную контактную информацию о себе. Недостоверная информация в Whois может привести к приостановке вашего доменного имени. Также вы должны учитывать каждый момент изменения контактов или настроек DNS, чтобы не потерять право собственности на домен. Поэтому, очень важно чтобы:
Техническая информация
Что касается технической информации, то здесь указывается место, где ваш домен располагается в Интернете. Здесь будет имя сервера, а также его IP адрес.
Name Server: NS01.EXAMPLE–REGISTRAR.TLD 192.168.0.1
Name Server: NS02.EXAMPLE–REGISTRAR.TLD 209.22.44.1
Эта информация доступна по большей части для жалоб на контент сайта, к примеру, из-за нарушения авторских прав. С ее помощью можно связаться с хостером и узнать страну размещения сайта.
Услуга конфиденциальности
Суть работы защиты ID домена заключается в том, что вся ваша информация становится конфиденциальной, а вместо нее в Registrant Contact Information появляются следующая информация:
Таким образом, ваша личная информация становится скрытой от постороннего взгляда, несанкционированного доступа, кражи личных данных, сторонней информации, надоедливых звонков, писем с вредоносным кодом.
Позаботиться о конфиденциальности с помощью услуги защита ID домена можно сразу при регистрации домена, просто поставив галочку напротив услуги. Если защита ID требуется домену зарегистрированному ранее, напишите нам на sales@hostpro.ua.

New WHOIS privacy settings explained
«Use privacy service»
«Redacted»
Due to a change in industry regulation, Porkbun now offers a broader range of options for hiding your domain contact information from public view. Previously, your only options were to turn our WHOIS Privacy service on or off for a given domain.
We’ve now added a new option, «redacted.» If your domain was public before May 23, 2018, on that day, it was redacted. Redacted is similar in functionality to WHOIS Privacy with a few notable differences:
You probably want to use WHOIS Privacy to protect your contact info, except when you’re transferring a domain from one registrar to another, at which point you may be required to switch to Redaction. There may be other scenarios where a registrant wants to publicly assert ownership of their domain and any intellectual property represented in the domain name itself while protecting their personal information from spammers and fraudsters, and redaction may be a good option for them as well.
For a more detailed explanation about which of the above methods is right for you, please consult our Privacy Policy at https://porkbun.com/legal
Why is my domain redacted now? I want my contact info public.
In order to comply with new regulations and laws, as of May 23, 2018, domains already registered at Porkbun that had WHOIS Privacy turned off were automatically redacted in Porkbun WHOIS. However, as of March 24, 2021, we’re once again allowing you to set your privacy to public so long as you agree that you understand the risks, although we strongly discourage the practice.
Setting WHOIS to public not only reveals your confidential contact information to fraudsters and spammers, it also might not have the intended effect of revealing your contact information on sites like whois.com and ICANN’s WHOIS/RDAP portal, because those services often query registry WHOIS rather than registrar WHOIS, and since 2018, most registries redact WHOIS information regardless of the registrant’s privacy settings.
Wait, What.
Your best bet if you want to be easily contacted by the public is to keep your domain private or redacted but publish a contactable email address or contact form on your website. Or, if you want to sell your domains, list them in our marketplace, which creates an attractive landing page with a contact form.

What is domain privacy?
What is domain privacy?
When you register a domain, you are required by ICANN to give registrars up-to-date personal information such as name and contact information, which is then required to be displayed publicly.
While there is no official Whois directory, the public output that registrars are required to display acts as a vast address book for domains. Each Whois record contains details on the registrant (.e.g. you), registrar (e.g., Namecheap), name servers, expiry date, and so on. Your information includes your name, address, email, and phone number.
This information is a vital resource if any issues should arise regarding your domain, such as from ownership confirmation. ICANN requires that it is shared publicly by default (unless you are protected by the GDPR, but more on this later).
Sharing your registrant information publicly has many drawbacks. The largest being that anyone can find your information online and use it however they please, including to spam you.
If you want to make sure your personal contact information is not made available to the public, one choice you can make is to use a domain privacy service.
So how important is domain privacy and what does it mean for you? Let’s dive right in.
Why do I need domain privacy protection?
If you’ve just purchased a new domain name and are keen to get building your brand on the web, you may be wondering, is domain privacy needed?
Anyone who owns a website, whether it’s for an organization, a business, or for a hobby, is required by ICANN (and also by registries not governed by ICANN) to provide accurate and full contact information for their domain. By default, this information is required to be made public.
Registered domain names can be entered into any free-to-use Whois search tool, and anyone can retrieve the Whois information that has been made public. So, if your personal information is not protected, they will retrieve it.
All of your personal information is laid out, left wide open for unsolicited marketing and sales contacts, spam, and may allow your domain to get hijacked.
Enter domain privacy protection, a service that keeps your contact information anonymous by replacing real contact information with that of the privacy service and randomly generated email addresses.
Domain privacy: publication of your information and onward sharing
The simple act of registering a domain triggers a number of requirements in how your personal information (contained in Whois) is treated, including publication of your information (as mentioned above) and required sharing with third parties. Here’s what happens today.
You may have heard about the General Data Protection Regulation, otherwise known as GDPR. Created in the European Union, the law is designed to protect the personal data of the people who are in the EU, and has set rules on how personal data information is collected, used, and stored.
The GDPR has affected the publication of domain Whois information. Customers covered by GDPR have their information protected by “redacted” Whois. This means that, instead of your personal information, the public display for your domain will state “redacted for privacy” (or something similar.) Registrars have the option (but not obligation) to extend redaction to other domain customers, unless specifically prohibited by a registry.
However, even if your information is redacted for privacy, while it’s protected from the public, it will still be available to the registry. In fact, quite a number of registries require registrars to automatically send them this information. This means that your personal information is further shared (aka “onward sharing”) and you need to review every registry with whom you have a domain to understand how they will process and potentially share your personal information. The only way to prevent onward sharing with a registry is to have a privacy or proxy service.
But, did you also know that with many privacy or proxy services, registrars are required to share your information with them? In other words, your information is still subject to onward sharing and, likewise, requires you to review this party’s privacy practices. Using a privacy / proxy service that requires your information may reduce the number of third parties who get your information (by eliminating sharing with registries), but it doesn’t eliminate it.
At Namecheap, your privacy is a core value. Notably, our domain service provider does not require customer information. This data remains with Namecheap, and our customers only need to understand our policies, rather than multiple policies. and at Namecheap.
Domain privacy at Namecheap
Here at Namecheap, we offer domain privacy for every customer, on every eligible domain.
So what is private registration for a domain name and what does it look like?
The example above shows how your contact information appears when you have domain privacy protection with Namecheap. This means that it’s much harder for people to reach you by looking you up in the Whois records (if you’re not already covered by GDPR) — a privacy protection service masks your identity.
Should I buy domain privacy?
You may find that some domain registrars charge for domain privacy protection. Here, customers will find that our domain privacy service is free for life as we believe in going that extra mile and making sure that our customers are protected.
We want our customers to know exactly what will or will not happen with their personal information and strongly believe in upholding privacy standards.
The benefits of Whois protection
If you’re considering whether private domain registration is worth it, let’s go over the reasons why you benefit.
1. Protect your personal information
Identity theft is a serious problem online, and personal information is needed when registering a domain name. If someone were to gain access to this data, it could cause serious problems for you or your business. Whois protection conceals this information. Domain privacy is necessary to help prevent your data from getting into the wrong hands.
2. Prevent unsolicited marketing outreach
Listing your contact information alongside your domain invites unwanted attention from salespeople, spammers, telemarketers, and fraudsters. Some individuals scan the Whois database for contact information, trawling newly registered websites in particular. Soon after registration you may be targeted with emails and calls about trying to offer online marketing, SEO, making domain privacy protection worth getting just to avoid such communications!
3. Minimize spam
Private registration for a domain name is necessary if you want to protect your email, and cut down on unsolicited emails from spammers. Your domain registrar will include an alias email in place of your own within the Whois database cutting down the likelihood of phishing emails. Such phishing emails (attempting to obtain your sensitive information, usernames, passwords, etc.) won’t reach your true email if you use domain privacy protection.
4. Greater control over your personal information
With domain privacy protection in place, your personal information will not be subjected to onward sharing, keeping it safe and secure.
How much does domain privacy protection protect site owners?
It depends on what you are trying to protect and who you are trying to protect it from. As mentioned, WHOIS will stop automated address harvesters from getting their hands on your details, but a focused attacker would find indirect ways to ascertain who the real owner is.
Let’s imagine you run a business. If your business address is already listed on your website, there’s no need to hide your details from the Whois database, as it’s already out there for anyone to find.
If you run a blog about your family life that you share with people all over the world, you will most likely want to keep your address hidden, and need privacy protection for your domain name to achieve this. Given that with Namecheap, domain privacy costs nothing, it’s worth having for peace of mind.
Privacy protection isn’t always an option
Although Whois privacy service is available for almost all domains, some are unavailable due to registry restrictions.
Currently, this includes .ca, .ch, .cn, .co.in, .co.uk, .com.au, .com.es, .com.sg, .de, .es, .eu, .fr, .gg, .id, .in, .is, .law, .li, .me.uk, .net.au, .nl, .nom.es, .nu, .nyc, .org.es, .org.au, .org.uk, .paris, .sg, .to, .uk, .us, .vote, .voto, and .xn--3ds443g domains.
Privacy protection may already be in place for certain TLDs, or restrictions may be in place for specific geographic locations.
Take .us, for example. In 2005 the National Telecommunications and Information Administration requested that all registrants must make their contact information public. This was to help make sure that .us registrants followed the requirements, such as that they must be a US citizen or resident, when registering their domain.
How do I get domain privacy?
It’s easy to add Whois privacy to your domain name. The process varies between registrars but there are just two ways to add it, at registration — or after.
Here’s how to hide Whois information at Namecheap:
When registering a domain
Once you’ve found your dream domain name, domain privacy will be added as default. If you want to remove it, you will receive a pop-up warning that removing domain privacy will make your information public and by proceeding, you are giving explicit consent to Namecheap to do this.
Add to an existing domain
If you remove privacy protection when you register a domain, don’t worry, you can always change your mind and add it at a later date. However, if you have the option to apply privacy from the get-go, do so. If you don’t apply privacy upfront, your information will be available to the public. There are tools available that allow people to find previously listed domain ownership data, transfer history, and historical sales records of a domain.
If you remove the protection that Namecheap offers, and your current domain is getting spammed, you should get domain privacy. Email and phone spam will be greatly reduced if you have privacy protection in place.
How much does Whois protection cost?
We believe you can’t put a price on things like security or privacy, so domain privacy is FREE for the life of your domain. Make your domain information private today!
This domain privacy service (from our chosen Whois privacy service provider Withheld for Privacy), is now free for everyone, keeping your personal data safe, for life.

Redacted for privacy что значит
Domain privacy protection tools allow you to mask the contact information in Whois, which you provided when registering your domain name.
Whois is an online public directory that maintains a record of all domain registrations. This includes domain registrant details, verifications, their expiry, renewal dates, and more.
Usually, domain registrants can add domain privacy protection during the registration with their domain registrar, often for an additional fee.
Our customers’ security and safety are a top priority for us and that is why we are offering privacy protection for free.
What types of privacy do you offer?
We offer two types of privacy protection, the Domain Privacy provided by Withheldforprivacy.com, and the ability to redact your domain information in our Whois.
What is Domain Privacy provided by Withheldforprivacy.com?
Are there any alternatives to Withheldforprivacy.com?
If the TLD does not support the privacy protection tools (such as WithheldForPrivacy), ‘Redacted for Privacy’ is automatically enabled during the registration/transfer.
If you want to disable ‘Redacted for Privacy’ mask and have your contacts published in Namecheap Whois, please contact our Support Team.
It will be possible to enable the mask back if your domain has no WithheldForPrivacy/or it’s disabled anytime with the help of our Support Team if you need to have the details masked. The updated result will be shown within 30 minutes in Namecheap Whois Lookup.
