WHOIS privacy protection keeps the confidentiality of your contact details. When you purchase a new domain at Hostinger or claim a free domain, WHOIS privacy protection is included for free for all supported domain extensions (TLD).

To manually change the privacy protection status for your Hostinger domain, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Domain portfolio on hPanel.

  2. Find the domain name and click on Manage next to it.

  3. In the Domain Overview section, toggle the button next to Privacy protection (WPP) to disable or re-enable the feature:

After that, changes in the WHOIS database can take up to 12 hours to take effect.

NOTE

  • The WHOIS privacy protection (WPP) option and toggle are not shown for domains that don't support this feature.
