Is domain privacy included at Spaceship, and what should I still check?
The short answer
Spaceship includes free privacy through Withheld for Privacy for eligible domains, with registry restrictions for some extensions. Check eligibility and the saved setting for the exact domain; privacy does not remove the need to provide accurate registration details.
In more detail
Spaceship says its privacy service is automatically included for eligible domain registrations. Its privacy policy distinguishes hiding details from public lookup from the information the registrar still needs to collect and retain. Choosing privacy is therefore not the same as registering without contact information.
For a personal website or a business using a home address, check the exact extension's eligibility before purchase. After registration or transfer, verify the privacy setting and inspect the public lookup result. If public disclosure is a concern, resolve it before committing to a suffix that has different registry rules.
When comparing the total cost of a .com or .org domain, separate included privacy from optional products in the cart. Compare renewal terms and account management as well. A privacy inclusion can be useful, but it does not by itself make one registrar the right fit for every website.
Keep account contact details current and protect access to the registrar account. Decide separately which business contact details should appear on the website so customers can reach you. Public registration privacy and clear customer contact information can serve different needs without being treated as the same setting.
