    Do you offer WHOIS privacy protection?
    Because .ga.nu registrations are subdomains, there is no separate WHOIS record for your name. WHOIS privacy does not apply—and your personal details are not published by GA.NU.

    Do you offer WHOIS privacy protection?

    Short answer

    No. WHOIS privacy does not apply to .ga.nu registrations. GA.NU sells subdomains (e.g., example.ga.nu), and subdomains do not have their own WHOIS records. Only the parent domain (ga.nu) has a WHOIS entry, which is controlled by GA.NU. Your personal information is not published in WHOIS by us.

    Why WHOIS privacy doesn’t apply to .ga.nu

    WHOIS and RDAP are primarily for registry/registrar-managed domain names (e.g., example.com). A .ga.nu name is a third‑level subdomain under ga.nu. Subdomains do not have their own WHOIS entries. As a result:

    • A WHOIS/RDAP lookup for example.ga.nu won’t reveal your identity.
    • A WHOIS/RDAP lookup for ga.nu will show information about GA.NU as the registrant of the parent domain, not about you as a subdomain holder.

    There is nothing to enable or pay for regarding WHOIS privacy on .ga.nu, because your personal contact information isn’t part of any public WHOIS record for your subdomain.

    What is public for a .ga.nu subdomain?

    While your contact details are not published in WHOIS, some technical data is inherently public:

    • DNS records: Querying DNS for example.ga.nu (A/AAAA/CNAME/MX/TXT, etc.) reveals technical endpoints (e.g., IP addresses, mail exchangers). This is normal and necessary for the internet to route traffic.
    • Certificate Transparency (CT) logs: If you obtain TLS/SSL certificates for example.ga.nu, the domain name appears in public CT logs. CT logs do not include your personal contact information.

    Practical examples

    • WHOIS on the subdomain itself usually returns nothing specific to the subdomain:
    whois example.ga.nu
# Typically shows no subdomain-specific registrant details
    • WHOIS on the parent domain shows GA.NU’s registry data, not the subdomain holder’s identity:
    whois ga.nu
# Shows registrant/technical details for the ga.nu domain (GA.NU), not for example.ga.nu
    • DNS queries show technical configuration only (no personal data):
    dig example.ga.nu A

dig example.ga.nu MX

dig example.ga.nu TXT

    If you need WHOIS privacy for a top-level domain you own

    If you plan to use your own top-level or second-level domain (e.g., example.com) with GA.NU’s services, register it through a registrar that offers WHOIS/RDAP privacy and enable that feature there. You can then point DNS records to GA.NU as needed. GA.NU cannot add WHOIS privacy to domains we do not register, and WHOIS privacy is not applicable to .ga.nu subdomains.

    Tips to protect your identity beyond WHOIS

    • Use email aliases for public contact (e.g., contact@example.ga.nu) instead of personal addresses.
    • Avoid placing personal information in DNS TXT records or public website content if you want to stay private.
    • Be aware that some third-party “WHOIS” websites may attempt to guess site ownership by scraping web content; these are not authoritative sources.

    FAQ

    • Can someone look up who owns example.ga.nu?

      • There is no authoritative WHOIS ownership record for a .ga.nu subdomain. Public data is limited to technical DNS and any information you publish on your site.

    • Do you share my billing or account details publicly?

      • No. GA.NU never publishes your account or billing information. We handle personal data according to our Privacy Policy and applicable laws.

    • Do you support RDAP/WHOIS for .ga.nu subdomains?

      • RDAP/WHOIS exists for the parent domain (ga.nu). Subdomains do not have separate entries, so there is nothing to redact or privatize.

    Need help?

    If you see a third-party site showing inaccurate ownership information for your .ga.nu name, or you have privacy questions, contact GA.NU Support with the URL and details. We’ll advise on next steps and, where appropriate, request corrections with the third party.
