Why is domain privacy used?

 

[utdream]

You need to use domain privacy on newly registered domains in order to protect yourself from Whois email harvesting and subsequent spamming. If you do NOT use privacy on newly registered domains, the email address you use will be flooded with SPAM and many of the spammers will even call you to try to sell you something.

I cannot recommend domain privacy (whois protection) highly enough.

To protect your WHOIS details. So that spammers not able to fetch your email address.

You use Whois privacy when you want to hide your real information from many spammers on the internet

I update the latest article for you: What is Domain Privacy and Why should you need it?

Domain privacy helps to hide the real information that is publicly shown in the WHOIS directory.
If data is not hidden there are chances of data stolen , malware , hacking attempt , etc.
