What is domain privacy and how do I enable it?

Domain privacy, also known as WHOIS privacy protection, is a service offered by domain registrars, including eNom, that helps safeguard the personal information of domain owners. When a domain is registered, certain details, such as the owner's name, address, email, and phone number, are made publicly accessible through the WHOIS database. This can lead to unwanted solicitations, spam, and privacy concerns. Domain privacy service replaces the domain owner's personal information with generic contact information provided by the registrar, thereby keeping the owner's details confidential. To enable domain privacy with eNom, the process is generally straightforward. Typically, it can be done during the domain registration process or added later through the domain management area of your eNom account. To do this, you would log into your eNom account, navigate to the domain management section, and find the specific domain for which you wish to enable privacy. There should be an option indicating "Add Privacy" or "Enable Domain Privacy." Once selected, you may be directed to confirm the changes. If you encounter any challenges or need specific instructions tailored to your situation, it may be beneficial to refer to the eNom website or their support resources for step-by-step guidance.
