When you register a domain name, you are asked to provide a genuine home address, email account and phone in accordance with the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is visible to the public on WHOIS sites too, so anybody can view your information and certain people may not be okay with this. As a consequence, lots of companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain name registrant’s contact information and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the exact same service. As of now, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this option.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting
If you get a cloud website hosting package from our company, you’ll be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domains provided that their extensions support the service. You can register/transfer a domain name and add Whois Privacy Protection upon registration or you can enable the service for any of your domain names at any time afterwards through the Hepsia Control Panel. The process is really easy – after you log in, you’ll need to visit the Registered Domains section where you’ll find a list of all the domain names that you’ve registered with us. For each of them you’ll see an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, which will inform you whether the service is enabled or not. By clicking on it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain name, or you can disable the service if it is currently active.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains by taking a couple of easy steps. In case you register or transfer a domain during the account activation process, you can get the service together with the domain. If you skip this step and you think things over at a later time, you can enable the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, through which you can manage the whole semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can turn on the Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register through our company after the signup process. Renewing or deactivating the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as easy and will require only a couple of mouse clicks.
