I want to buy a domain and host my website. I was wondering if my personal information are going to be public? If so, what can i do?
I am a beginner if this sounds a stupid question
Use a domain registrar that hides your rego info, like Porkbun or Cloudflare.
The key phrase you’re looking for is WHOIS protection. This means none of your personal information is tied to the domain (although you obviously will need to give your details to the registrar themselves).
Most reputable domain name registrars provide this for free by default.
Most gTLD’s support whois privacy, WordPress offers whois privacy at no extra charge provided you are not registering a TLD that doesn’t allow whois privacy. The normal TLDs like .com, .org, and .net do not restrict whois privacy, the .us ccTLD does however.
gTLD: generic Top Level Domain
ccTLD: country code Top Level Domain
Look up the registry for the domain you want and check their rules for whois privacy.
