Domain Privacy Protection for .CA Domain
When registering a domain, privacy protection shields your personal info from public WHOIS records. However, for .CA domains—the country code for Canada—Domain Privacy Protection cannot be added. This is because the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) requires registrant information such as name, address, phone, and email to remain publicly accessible to ensure transparency and accountability.
Unlike generic domains like .COM, .CA domains must display registrant details for legal and dispute resolution purposes. While you can’t mask this info, you can protect your privacy by registering under a business name, using dedicated contact details, and keeping information current.
In short, .CA domains prioritize openness over privacy protections. Understanding these rules helps you manage your domain responsibly within Canada’s regulations.
