No. It only changes the public contact information on the WHOIS registry. Your website, email and DNS keep working the same.
Your personal data, out of public WHOIS
When you register a domain, your name, address, email and phone number become visible to anyone. Domain Privacy replaces them with the data of a protection service — no more spam or identity theft.

Frequently asked questions
Does privacy affect how my website or email works?
Am I still the legal owner of the domain?
Yes. Ownership doesn't change: it's still you. Privacy only replaces your contact data with the protection service's data in public lookups.
Can I activate it on a domain I already have?
Yes, as long as the domain is registered with Capa7. Go to your client area, open the domain and activate Domain Privacy. If it's with another provider, transfer it to us first.
Do all extensions allow it?
Most generic domains (.com, .net, .org...) do. Some ccTLDs don't allow hiding WHOIS data due to their registry rules. We'll let you know when you check out.
