If you’re not familiar with WhoisGuard, it’s a privacy service offered by Namecheap that helps you keep track of who is contacting you and why. To enable WhoisGuard on Namecheap, follow these steps:

1. On the Namecheap home page, click the name of your domain in the top left corner of the page.

2. On the “Settings” page, under “General”, click the “WhoisGuard” link.

3. On the WhoisGuard settings page, under “Settings”, click the “Enable WhoisGuard” checkbox.

4. Click the “Save Changes” button.

5. To confirm that WhoisGuard is enabled, visit your Namecheap account’s Whois information page and review the details of any domain that is protected by WhoisGuard.

PRO TIP: Namecheap’s WhoisGuard service is designed to protect your personal information from being publically available via the WHOIS database. However, it is important to note that this service does not guarantee 100% privacy, as your information may still be accessible to law enforcement or other third parties with a legitimate interest in accessing it. As such, we recommend that you use WhoisGuard in conjunction with other privacy measures, such as a VPN or encrypted email service, to further protect your online identity.
