How can I Enable/Disable Privacy Protection for my domain name?

Privacy Protection is a free service available with your domain name. You may either enable this service at the time of registering/transferring your domain name or enable(/disable) this service anytime during the length of the domain name's registration, as per your requirement.

IMPORTANT

    • If you wish to have your domain name Transferred away from Dinsol.Co.In for some reason, you need to first disable the Privacy Protection and then place a transfer request at the Registrar of your choice.
       
    • Privacy Protection can be enabled/disabled only for those domain names which are not in locked/suspended status.
