When you register a domain, you have to provide a genuine home address, email account and telephone as per the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS sites too, so anybody can check your information and many individuals may not be okay with that fact. As a result, numerous registrar companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the very same service. Currently, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support the service.
Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Web Hosting
Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered through us is unbelievably easy in case you have a shared web hosting. You can do this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the web hosting account – you’ll just have to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be displayed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will be available for each domain that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or deactivate it altogether – in case you would like to transfer a given domain name to another domain registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your private or corporate contact info with only a couple of clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your details might be acquired by unsolicited persons.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
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 simple steps. In case you order a registration or a transfer during the account activation procedure, you can get the service along with the domain. In case you omit this step and you think things over at a later point in time, you can order the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via 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 us after the signup process. Renewing or removing the service is just as easy and will require just a few clicks of the mouse.
