Clearing the Air: Understanding Kcunac’s Domain Privacy & Hosting Setup

Comments · 1598 Views

Is Kcunac American-owned? No! Learn why Kcunac uses domain privacy protection, where it's hosted, and how it remains an independent, community-driven platform. Get the facts here.

At Kcunac, we believe in transparency and community-driven growth. Recently, some users have raised questions about our domain registration details, leading to concerns about whether Kcunac is owned by a foreign entity. We appreciate this curiosity and want to take a moment to clear up any confusion.

Why Kcunac Uses Domain Privacy Protection

When you register a domain, your personal information—such as name, address, and phone number—becomes publicly available through the WHOIS database. To protect website owners from spam, hacking attempts, and privacy breaches, many businesses and individuals use domain privacy protection services.

Kcunac’s domain registration details show "Domains By Proxy, LLC," which is a privacy service provided by GoDaddy, our domain registrar. This does not mean Kcunac is owned by this company. It simply means we’ve chosen to keep our personal details private, just like millions of other websites worldwide.

Where is Kcunac Hosted & Operated From?

While our domain privacy is handled by a U.S.-based service, Kcunac is actually hosted in Canada. Our servers are located in Canada, ensuring that the platform operates independently and aligns with the mission of providing a social alternative that users can trust.

Additionally, Kcunac is not owned by any American corporation or government entity. It remains a community-driven platform, built to give users a space where they can engage freely.

Separating Domain Registration from Company Ownership

It’s important to understand that domain registration and website ownership are separate things.

  • Domain privacy services like Domains By Proxy only mask the owner's personal information for security reasons.
  • The actual ownership, hosting, and management of Kcunac remain with its founders and team.

Many businesses—including large Canadian brands—use domain privacy for the same reason: security and privacy.

Kcunac’s Mission & Commitment to Independence

Kcunac was created to be a new kind of social platform, built for and by its community. Since launching, we’ve grown to over 700 members, with users actively sharing the platform. Our goal remains the same: to create a space where people can connect freely without corporate overreach.

As we expand, we are also bringing in more team members, particularly from Canada, to help shape Kcunac’s future. Transparency and user trust will always be a priority.

Final Thoughts: Why This Matters

We understand that trust is everything when it comes to social media platforms. That’s why we encourage open discussions and welcome questions like these. Misinformation spreads fast, but the best way to combat it is through clarity and facts.

If you ever have any questions about Kcunac’s operations, feel free to reach out directly or participate in our growing community. Kcunac is yours to shape, and we’re excited to build it together.

I think if you apply the EU GDPR rules you'll be sweet with the EU and eurpean users and it looks like you do - or want to - anyway. (haven't the foggiest what canadian legislation is like)

Hey there: I applaud the effort (had been wondering when someone was going to do this since Bluesky is a Twitter alternative but not really a Facebook one). The one question I really have is about DATA COLLECTION. What are you planning to collect on us and what WON'T you collect?

Thanks for explaining this. I was a bit leery about joining. Maybe an “about” button on the join up page explaining some of this would make a lot of people more comfortable joining. Especially when someone in a huge Canadian Made in Canada group is posting this site as a scam.
I second the idea of a .ca site flagging it as wholly Canadian.

Any thoughts on also registering the name on .CA domain ?

If you haven't seen my non-scientific analysis of scamdetector, well - they exist to sell services to business as a "trust" authority. I received an email response to my query and they wanted the kind of info I only provide to my accountant to "review" their rating. My thought is if people are queered by their analysis and refuse to contact me to "feel me out" then I don't want them as customers.

Thank you for clearing this up. I've seen quite a few people on farcebook claiming that Kcunac is a scam because of this association with a US company. I will point people to this highly reasonable explanation.
