How long does it take to hide my personal information on Whois?

  • Once you enable Domain Privacy in your Hostaday account, the change is submitted to the registry immediately.
    • Whois Lookup: However, it can take 24 to 48 hours for the public Whois database to reflect the hidden status globally.
    • Reason: This delay is due to the way different ISP servers and Whois lookup tools cache information.
