Godaddy Domains, Allow Us to Choose Private Registration or Not






To remove private registration forced upon you, do the following:

  1. Remove your order by emptying your cart at Godaddy.
  4. Get the confirmation email with your customer number.
  5. Request a new password with your customer number.



Let us choose!

  1. Hi Lorelle, This is a bit odd, really. I went into my GD dash to see what would happen if I reconciled one of my public domains to renew at the same time as another domain I own and didn’t have private registration added to my cart automatically. The price indicated that I was paying only for the reconciliation and the cost of the domain extension, nothing more. I did have the option at one point of adding private registration, but i merely left it as public. Like you, I only have public domain registration. Is privacy added when you automatically renew? Would be happy for more clarification. Thanks.

    • Sorry for the delay in responding. Godaddy adds this without request or permission. I had to jump through hoops to deal with this. Argh.

      I’d never been given a choice and this forced step upon me.

      • I just renewed my domain and it never gave me an option to either select or deselect private registration one way or the other. It just showed up in my card for $9.99. Please fix this intentional glitch.

  3. Thank you for this post. Frustrating, but I truly appreciate that you shared a solution. I’ve got dozens of domains on multiple accounts. For years they have been public. Why would I possibly care about making them private now. Makes no sense.

    Thank you again!
