Domain privacy, also known as domain registration privacy, helps protect your personal information from being publicly displayed in the WHOIS database. Bluehost offers domain privacy protection as an add-on service for an additional fee. Here's how to add it to your account:
1. Log in to Your Bluehost Account
Go to the Bluehost website and log in using your email address and password.
2. Navigate to the "Domains" Section
Once logged in, find the "Domains" section in your dashboard. This may be labeled as "My Domains" or similar.
3. Select the Domain You Want to Protect
Locate the domain you wish to add privacy protection to. You might need to click on the domain name to access its specific settings.
4. Choose "Domain Privacy"
Look for an option related to "Domain Privacy" or "Whois Protection." It may be listed as a separate add-on service or within the domain's settings.
5. Purchase and Activate
If the domain privacy feature is a paid add-on, you'll need to purchase it. Follow the prompts to complete the purchase and activate the service.
6. Verify Protection
After activation, you can verify that your domain is now protected by checking the WHOIS database. You can use a free WHOIS lookup tool to search for your domain. The results should display masked or anonymized contact information instead of your personal details.
Note: The exact process for adding domain privacy might vary slightly depending on your Bluehost plan and account settings.
