When you register a domain name, you have to give a valid street address, email and phone in accordance with the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, however, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS check websites too, so anybody can view your details and many individuals may not be satisfied with this. As a consequence, many registrar companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain name registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the same service. Currently, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this service.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting
If you order a cloud hosting plan from our company, you will be able to enable 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 during the registration procedure or you can enable the service for any of your domain names at any time afterwards through the Hepsia Control Panel. The procedure is amazingly easy – after you log in, you will need to visit the Registered Domains section where you’ll find a list of all the domains that you’ve registered with us. For each one of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will tell you whether the service is active 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 activated.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you have a semi-dedicated server account with us and you register a domain name under it, you can activate our Whois Privacy Protection service effortlessly. This requires only a couple of clicks in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, through which you manage everything associated with your account. This is where you can see all your domain names and for each of them you’ll see an “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol, using which you can activate, renew or deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this can be done only with generic and country-code Top-Level Domain extensions that support this option and you’ll be able to see this in advance, so that you will not end up buying a service that we can’t provide.
