Proxy services are services offered to conceal the contact details of the domain name holder for various reasons.
Why are proxy services used?
One of the reasons for using proxy services is to ensure privacy: some holders do not want their private data to be shown on the public WHOIS of the domain name registry. At EURid, we automatically hide the registration data of individuals for privacy reasons. Another reason may be to obscure the identity of a party engaging in illegal or harmful activities, including phishing, cybersquatting, fraud, and more.
