When you register a domain name, you are required to give a valid address, email and telephone number as per the policies approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is available to the public on WHOIS lookup websites too, so anyone can see your information and lots of individuals may not be delighted with this. Consequently, numerous companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain registrant’s contact information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to one and the same service. Today, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support the service.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting
If you have ordered a Linux cloud hosting package from us and you’ve registered one or more domain names under your account, you’ll be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without any difficulty and to keep your private information secure. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support such an option. In your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll find an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon on the right-hand side of each of your domain names. Its color will inform you whether a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can add Whois Privacy Protection with just several clicks. Thus, you can protect your personal information even if you have not activated the service during the hosting account activation process. You’ll be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domains just as easily.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names by taking a couple of easy steps. In case you order a registration or a transfer during the signup process, you can get the service along with the domain name. If you skip this step and you change your mind at a later time, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, through which you can administer the entire semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register through our company after signup. Renewing or removing the service is just as easy and will require just several mouse clicks.
