When you register a domain, you are asked to supply an authentic address, email and phone number in accordance with the policies approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, however, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS sites as well, so anyone can check your info and many people may not be satisfied with that fact. As a consequence, numerous domain name registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain registrant’s contact info and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the same service. As of now, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support the service.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting
If you order a cloud hosting package from us, you’ll be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names on the condition that their extensions support this service. You can register/transfer a domain name and add Whois Privacy Protection during the account activation process or you can activate the service for any of your domain names at any time afterwards via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The process is exceptionally easy – once you log in, you’ll need to go to the Registered Domains section where you will find a list of all the domains that you’ve registered through our company. For each one of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, which will tell you if the service is activated or not. By clicking 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
If you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you register a domain under it, you can activate our Whois Privacy Protection service effortlessly. This takes only several clicks of the mouse in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, through which you administer everything associated with your semi-dedicated web hosting account. This is the place where you can see all your domain names and for each of them you will find an “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol, using which you can activate, renew or disable the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this will be possible only with generic and country-code TLD extensions that support this option and you’ll be able to see this beforehand, so you won’t end up purchasing a service that we cannot provide.
