Canadian Privacy

The Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) will be implementing changes to the dot-ca (.ca) WHOIS, effective June 10, 2008.

The dot-ca WHOIS service is a public search tool that allows users to look up information about the holders of dot-ca domain names. A WHOIS search returns such information as name, address, phone and fax numbers and email address. After consulting with the public, CIRA adopted a new WHOIS policy that no longer displays this information, to provide greater privacy for our Registrants.As an individual Registrant of a .ca domain name, your private information will be protected by default – no action is required to receive this additional privacy feature.

for more information about the new dot-ca WHOIS.
