Protect your domains with
multiple layers of privacy protection
When you register a domain, your personal details are collected and made public via the Whois database as required by ICANN. Your contact details including your address and phone are usually accessible to anyone, including marketers, spammers, and fraudsters. This is one of the weakest points in internet privacy.
At Trustname, powerful domain management goes hand in hand with robust privacy protection. Our famous two-tier domain privacy protection replaces your personal contact information in the Whois database with our generic information twice, adding a second-layer of protection. By replacing your name twice, instead of just once like other registrars, we make it virtually impossible for anyone to access your personal information.
Two-tier Whois privacy services are provided by independent proxy entities, incorporated in separate offshore jurisdictions.
How it works?
No matter the size of your business—whether you're a large financial corporation, a startup or a small online pharmacy—you've come to the right place.
Founded in 2021 in Europe, Trustname has quickly become the first choice for private domain registration. At Trustname, powerful domain management goes hand in hand with ultimate privacy, keeping your personal information safe from breaches and unwanted exposure.
Our world-class two-tier domain privacy service protects your sensitive details by replacing your personal contact information in the Whois database with our generic information twice, making it practically impossible for others to find. This commitment to privacy sets us apart from other registrars.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all domain extensions eligible for Trustname's two-tier Whois domain privacy protection?
Not all domain extensions are eligible for our two-level Whois domain privacy protection. In general, most generic top-level domains (gTLDs) such as .com, .net, and .org support privacy protection. However, many country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) have different policies that may not allow the use of privacy services. For a detailed list of ccTLDs that do not support privacy options, please refer to Trustname's support documentation here: ccTLDs that do not support privacy.
What is the Whois database?
The Whois database is a publicly available directory that contains registrant information of all ICANN-governed domain names. It includes contact information, registration date, expiration date, and hosting service details. Whois data is used for a variety of purposes, including network administration, ensuring accountability of domain name registrants, and enforcing domain name registration requirements.
How much does the domain privacy service cost?
At Trustname, we offer a free domain privacy service to underscore our commitment to protecting the privacy of our customers. This service ensures that your personal details are not visible in the Whois database, providing an extra layer of privacy at no extra cost.
What is the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 Whois domain privacy?
The primary difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 Whois Domain Privacy Protection is the level of anonymity and the entities involved in protecting your information.
Tier 1 Whois Privacy Protection:
- Your domain is registered on behalf of a special company called Perfect Whois Privacy Protection Service, LLC, located in St. Kitts and Nevis.
- You retain actual ownership of the domain, but your personal information is replaced with information from this proxy company in the Whois database.
This level provides basic privacy protection and ensures that your personal information is not visible to the public.
Tier 2 Whois Privacy Protection:
- This level adds an extra layer of privacy by hiding the real registration information, whether it's your personal information or that of a proxy company, through another proxy company called Whois Privacy Protection Service LLC, based in the United States.
- The additional proxy company further obscures your information, making it much more difficult to discover your identity through legal or extralegal means.
The combination of these two layers creates a multi-jurisdictional shield that greatly enhances the security and privacy of your domain registration information.
How can I add Trustname's two-tier Whois domain privacy protection to my domain name?
To add two-tier Whois domain privacy protection to your domain name with Trustname, you can select this option at the time of domain registration or add it later through your account dashboard. Simply navigate to the domain management section, find the domain you wish to update, and enable the privacy protection feature.
Can I turn off two-tier Whois privacy protection?
Yes, you can turn off two-tier Whois privacy protection for your domain name if you choose. You can do this through your Trustname account dashboard where you manage your domain settings. Disabling privacy protection will make your registration details visible in the Whois database, which might be necessary for certain business requirements or domain transactions.
You can also turn either only the Tier 1 or Tier 2 of our privacy protection, or both.
