How to Enable Domain Privacy Protection Using Bulk Tools

When you want to enable or change domain privacy protection for multiple domains at once. This article explains how to manage domain privacy in bulk using Bulk Tools.

Using our Bulk Privacy Protection feature, you can purchase or enable/disable Privacy Protection for multiple domain names simultaneously.

Exceptions and Other Conditions

  • Bulk Privacy Protection is not available due to various restrictions for the following TLDs (extensions):

    • Due to restrictions imposed by the Registry Operator:

      • .ASIA

      • .AU 

      • .BLOG

      • .CA

      • .CN

        Additional Information

        .UK Registrants who are non-trading individuals (those who do not use or plan to use their domain name for business, trade [including registration of domain names for monetization purposes] or professional transactions) can choose to opt out of having their Contact Details displayed in the Whois lookup.

        This option can be enabled by the Registrant from within their Nominet control panel.

      • .US

    • Due to other restrictions:

      • .ORG.CO, .MIL.CO, .GOV.CO, .EDU.CO

  • If you are transferring away your domain name from us, you need to first disable Privacy Protection and then place a Transfer request at the Registrar of your choice.

  • Depending upon whether the Privacy Protection feature is available for a TLD or not, the Order Details view of your domain name may or may not display the Privacy Protection status under Order Information.

    If Privacy Protection is available for your domain name, then you would see the following status:

    • Privacy Protection: Enabled

      This indicates that the Privacy Protection feature has been turned on for your domain name, and your personal Contact Details are not being displayed in the Whois of your domain name.

    • Privacy Protection: Disabled

      This indicates that the Privacy Protection feature has been turned off for your domain name, and your personal Contact Details are being displayed in the Whois of your domain name.

  • If the domain name is Locked by us, it needs to be first Unlocked by us before you can proceed with the Bulk Privacy Protection.

  • If the domain name is Locked by you, you may proceed with the Bulk Privacy Protection without Unlocking it.

  • If the domain name is Suspended by us, it needs to be first Unsuspended before you can proceed with the Bulk Privacy Protection.

     

  • The Bulk Privacy Protection feature is not supported for .ME domain names.
