Whois Privacy Protection, occasionally also referred to as WHOIS or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that conceals the real contact details of domain owners on WHOIS check websites. Without this service, the personal name, home address and email of any domain registrant will be freely available. Supplying fake information during the domain registration process or changing the authentic details afterwards will simply 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 ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, demand that the WHOIS details must be correct and up to date all the time. The Whois Privacy Protection service was launched by domain registrars as an answer to the growing concerns about possible identity theft. If the service is active, the domain 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 ones that don’t.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting
Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered with us is remarkably easy in case you have a Linux cloud website hosting package. You can achieve this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage your hosting account – you will only have to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be displayed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will be available for each domain name that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or deactivate it altogether – if you want to transfer a particular domain to another registrar company. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your private or business contact information with just a few clicks and stop worrying that your details might be obtained by unauthorized individuals.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains in a few simple steps. In case you register or transfer a domain name during the account activation procedure, you can get the service along with the domain name. If you omit this step and you change your mind at a later point in time, you can enable the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, through which you can manage the whole semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can turn on the Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register through us after the signup process. Renewing or deactivating the service is just as simple and will take just a couple of clicks of the mouse.
