Whois Privacy Protection, sometimes also referred to as Privacy or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that hides the authentic contact details of domain name owners on WHOIS check sites. Without this service, the personal name, home address and email of any domain name owner will be freely accessible. Supplying fake info during the registration process or changing the genuine info afterwards will just not work, as doing such a thing may result in the domain registrant losing his/her 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 valid and accurate at all times. The Whois Privacy Protection service was introduced by domain registrars as an answer to the rising concerns about possible identity fraud. If the protection service is enabled, the domain registrar’s contact info will show up instead of the domain name registrant’s upon a WHOIS check. Most domains support the Whois Privacy Protection service, although there are certain country-code ones that don’t.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered through our company is unbelievably easy if you have a cloud hosting service. You can accomplish this through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage your hosting account – you will only have to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be displayed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” button, which will be available for each domain 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 wish to transfer a given domain to some other domain name 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 info might be acquired by unauthenticated persons.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names by following several simple steps. In case you order a registration or a transfer during the signup procedure, you can get the service together with the domain. If you omit this step and you think things over at a later point in time, you can activate the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, through which you can manage the entire semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register through our company after signup. Renewing or disabling the service is just as simple and will take no more than several clicks.
