Domain whois protection feature description

1.whois protection and its function?

Domain privacy protection service is a domain registrant information protection service. Once enabled, the domain registration information will be hidden, preventing the registrant's information from being illegally stolen and reducing spam emails and telephone harassment.

It is suitable for users who are unwilling to disclose personal privacy information; individual and corporate domain holders troubled by spam; and customers worried about their personal information being illegally misappropriated.

If you need to display real contact information (such as for website filing or domain name for sale, etc.), please do not enable this feature!

2.Which domains at 西部数码 support enabling the Domain Privacy Protection Service, and is there a fee?

Currently, only .cn, .中国, and other second-level .cn domains registered through the 西部数码 interface support newly activating whois protection.

3.Can the domain be used normally after whois protection is enabled?

Yes. After whois protection is enabled, the domain can be managed as usual, and operations such as renewal, transfer, DNS modification, and resolution can be performed;

However, if you process a transfer out, you need to first disable this feature so that you can normally receive notifications or confirmation emails from the transfer-in party;

Note: After enabling this feature, the registrant must bear all consequences caused by their own inability to receive information from the domain contact email and telephone in a timely manner.
