Whois Privacy Protection, at times also called WHOIS or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that hides the authentic contact details of domain name owners on WHOIS sites. Without this service, the personal name, home address and email of any domain name owner will be publicly visible. Giving fake information during the domain registration process or altering the real information at a later time will just not work, as doing such a thing may result in the domain name registrant losing their ownership of the domain name. The policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, demand that the WHOIS info must be correct and accurate at all times. The Whois Privacy Protection service was introduced by registrars as an answer to the growing concerns for possible identity theft. If the protection service is enabled, the registrar company’s contact information will be listed instead of the registrant’s upon a WHOIS check. Most domain names support the Whois Privacy Protection service, although there are certain country-code ones that don’t.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting
If you get a cloud hosting package from us, you will be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domains as long as their extensions support this service. You can register/transfer a domain name and enable Whois Privacy Protection during the account activation procedure or you can activate the service for any of your domains at any moment afterwards through the Hepsia Control Panel. The procedure is remarkably easy – once you log in, you will need to visit the Registered Domains section where you will notice a list of all the domain names that you’ve registered through our company. For each of them you’ll see an “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol, which will tell 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 Servers
In case you wish to hide the contact info associated with your domain name and you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to add our Whois Privacy Protection service either during the signup procedure or at any moment afterwards through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The service is optional and can be enabled with several clicks from the Registered Domains section of the Control Panel where all the domain names that you’ve registered with our company will be listed in alphabetical order. You can order Whois Privacy Protection for any of the domain name extensions that support the service by simply clicking the “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol on the right-hand side of each domain name. In the exact same manner, you can also renew the service or deactivate it – if you wish to transfer a domain name to some other registrar and you need the real email address associated with the domain to be visible.
