When you register a domain, you are requested to give a genuine address, email account and phone in accordance with the policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS web sites as well, so anyone can view your info and a lot of people may not be delighted with this. Consequently, many registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s details and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also popular as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the very same service. At the moment, 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 this option.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting
Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered with us is amazingly easy in case you’ve got a Linux cloud website hosting. You can accomplish this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage your hosting account – you’ll just have to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be listed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” button, which will be available for each generic or country-code TLD that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or disable it completely – if you would like to transfer a specific domain to another registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your personal or business contact details with just a few clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your info might be acquired by unauthorized people.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server package from us, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names in a few easy steps. In case you register or transfer a domain during the account activation procedure, you can get the service along with the domain name. In case 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 hosting Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you can administer the whole semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can activate Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register through our company after signup. Renewing or disabling the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as easy and will take only a couple of clicks of the mouse.
