.CA privacy (1.Viewing)

theinvestor · Jul 5, 2021

I was reading a post made by a member here on Twitter tonight stating that privacy on .CA domains is only available for individuals and not businesses.

That is actually false for any looking into registering a domain and worried about their business info being public. The majority of registrars will allow you to add privacy for an extra fee if you would like. This is a not a CIRA restriction.

.CA allows full privacy for individuals and businesses.

CIRA should simply disassociate privacy from the registrant type and make the user choose their preference to be public or private. Personally, I think the current implementation was poorly thought out since it removes a registrant's choice.

I agree. I am not really sure what the purpose of having individual registrants private and businesses public. In reality, you should be able to make them both private or public.
