According to DNS admin blast: Due to ICANN policy changes, starting from May, no longer provide free domain whois data hiding services, all free use of whois hidden at the end of April automatically restored to real data. After using the Whois hidden service, you will be paid.

The ICANN adjustment policy, since May 2015, the domain Name Service provider no longer provides the user with the free Domain WHOIS protection Service, the user must pay for it. The current value of the Whois hidden services of some domain name registrars is as follows:

GoDaddy keyboard-based Company, LLC. Domain registration information provided by the protection service price of 7.99 USD/year;
ENom Inc. provides a domain name registration information Protection Service price of USD 6.00/year;
Networksolutions LLC. Provide domain name registration Information Protection Service Price is 9.99 USD/year;
Register.com Inc. provides domain registration information protection services at a price of USD 11.00/year.
Prior to this policy, users can still use the free Whois hiding service (if the Registrar provides it); After the start, the existing free version of the Whois hidden service will stop running, the WHOIS information is public and if you need to hide whois information, you will need to pay.

Although the domestic domain registrar to provide free hidden information services, but the hidden personal information, domain whois information is a million net of their own content, the equivalent of indirectly to their advertising.

We are paying close attention to the response of this policy to registrars (such as China Network, Namesilo, etc.) who claim to provide "permanent free" whois data hiding services.
