The following domain extensions (TLDs) offer privacy protection directly through the registry (i.e., registry-based WHOIS privacy), meaning WHOIS data is automatically redacted or replaced at the registry level, not just by the registrar:
gTLDs (Generic Top-Level Domains) with Built-in Registry Privacy
| TLD | Registry | Notes |
|---|---|---|
.xyz | XYZ Registry | WHOIS info is redacted by default |
.online | Radix Registry | Automatic privacy at registry level |
.site | Radix Registry | WHOIS hidden by default |
.tech | Radix Registry | Includes privacy by default |
.store | Radix Registry | WHOIS data not public |
.space | Radix Registry | Comes with registry-level redaction |
.website | Radix Registry | Automatic WHOIS protection |
.fun | Radix Registry | Privacy included |

ccTLDs (Country Code Top-Level Domains) with Registry-Based Privacy
| TLD | Country/Region | Notes |
|---|---|---|
.ca | Canada | WHOIS privacy for individuals by default |
.eu | European Union | Natural persons have redacted WHOIS |
.uk | United Kingdom | Individual data redacted at registry level |
.fr | France | WHOIS privacy for individuals via AFNIC |
.it | Italy | WHOIS privacy under certain conditions |
.ch | Switzerland | WHOIS data partially hidden for individuals |
.nl | Netherlands | Limited public WHOIS — privacy built-in |
.be | Belgium | Individual WHOIS hidden automatically |
.de | Germany | Minimal WHOIS data shown, registry-controlled |
? Notes:
- For many new gTLDs, privacy is often registry-level even if a registrar offers its own layer.
- For ccTLDs, privacy rules often vary between individuals and organisations.
- Registrars may still offer additional WHOIS privacy (proxy services) even if the registry doesn’t.
