Whois Privacy Protection, occasionally also called Privacy or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that hides the real contact info of domain owners on WHOIS sites. Without protection, the personal name, address and email account of any domain name owner will be openly accessible. Providing false details during the domain name registration process or changing the real info 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 adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), demand that the WHOIS details must be correct and accurate at all times. The Whois Privacy Protection service was introduced by domain registrars as an answer to the increasing concerns about possible identity theft. If the protection service is active, the domain name registrar’s contact information will appear instead of the domain name registrant’s upon a WHOIS lookup. Most domain names support the Whois Privacy Protection service, although there are certain country-code extensions that do not.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Web Hosting
If you get a cloud web hosting package from our company, you will be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domains provided that their extensions support this service. You can register or transfer a domain and enable Whois Privacy Protection upon signup or you can activate the service for any of your domain names at any moment afterwards through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The procedure is surprisingly easy – once you log in, you’ll have to go to the Registered Domains section where you’ll notice a list of all the domain names that you’ve registered with us. For each one of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, which will inform you whether the service is activated or not. By clicking on it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain name, or you can deactivate the service if it is currently activated.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server package from us, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains by taking several simple steps. If you register or transfer a domain name during the account activation procedure, you can get the service along with the domain name. In case you skip this step and you change your mind at a later time, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you can manage the entire semi-dedicated server 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 signing up. Renewing or deactivating the service is just as easy and will require only a few clicks of the mouse.
