When you register a domain name, you have to supply an authentic home address, email account and phone number as per the policy adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS web sites too, so anybody can view your info and a lot of individuals may not be okay with that fact. As a result, lots of registrar companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain registrant’s contact info and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the exact same service. As of now, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this service.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting
Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered with our company is exceptionally easy in case you have a Linux cloud hosting package. You can achieve this through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage your web hosting account – you’ll only have to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be listed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, which will be available for each top-level domain name that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or deactivate it altogether – in case you wish to transfer a specific domain to a different company. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your personal or business contact details with just several mouse clicks and stop worrying that your information might be acquired by unauthorized persons.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names by following a few easy steps. If you register or transfer a domain during the signup 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 order the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, through which you can manage the entire semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can activate Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register with us after signup. Renewing or removing the service is just as easy and will take no more than several mouse clicks.
