When you register a domain, you have to supply a valid home address, email and telephone number in accordance with the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is available to the general public on WHOIS lookup sites as well, so anyone can see your information and some individuals may not be pleased with that fact. As a consequence, lots of registrar companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the same service. At the moment, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this option.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting
If you get a cloud hosting package from our company, you will be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names if their extensions support this option. You can register/transfer a domain and enable Whois Privacy Protection during the signup process or you can activate the service for any of your domains at any time later via the Hepsia Control Panel. The procedure is amazingly easy – once you log in, you will have to go to the Registered Domains section where you will notice a list of all the domain names that you’ve registered with us. For each one of them you’ll see an “Whois Privacy Protection” button, which will show you if the service is enabled or not. By clicking on it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain, or you can deactivate the service if it is currently enabled.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server package from us, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains in a few simple steps. In case you register or transfer a domain during the signup process, you can get the service together with the domain name. In case you omit this step and you think things over later, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you can administer the whole semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register through us after signing up. Renewing or deactivating the service is just as simple and will take only several clicks.
