When you register a domain name, you need to give a genuine street address, email account and telephone as per the policies approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, however, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is available to the public on WHOIS lookup web sites too, so anyone can view your details and many individuals may not be okay with that fact. As a consequence, plenty of registrar companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the exact same service. Today, most of the top-level domain names around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support the service.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting
If you get a cloud hosting plan from our company, you’ll be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domains if their extensions support this service. You can register or transfer a domain and enable Whois Privacy Protection upon signup or you can activate the service for any of your domain names at any moment later through the Hepsia Control Panel. The process is really easy – once you sign in, you’ll need to go to the Registered Domains section where you’ll notice a list of all the domain names that you have registered through our company. For each of them you’ll see an “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will show you if the service is active or not. By clicking it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain, or you can disable the service if it is currently activated.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names by following several simple steps. If you register or transfer a domain during the account order process, you can get the service together with the domain name. If you omit this step and you think things over at a later point in time, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you can manage the entire semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can turn on the Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register with our company after the signup procedure. Renewing or removing the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as simple and will require only a couple of mouse clicks.
