When you register a domain, you need to provide a valid street address, email and telephone number in accordance with the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is available to the general public on WHOIS websites too, so anyone can view your details and many individuals may not be pleased with this. Consequently, numerous companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain registrant’s details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the very same service. Now, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this option.
Whois Privacy Protection in Website Hosting
Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered through our company is amazingly easy if you have a Linux website hosting service. You can achieve this through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the web hosting account – you’ll simply need to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be displayed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol, which will be available for each top-level domain name that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or disable it completely – if you’d like to transfer a particular domain name to another registrar company. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your private or corporate contact info with just a couple of clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your information might be obtained by unsolicited individuals.
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 in a couple of simple steps. If you order a registration/transfer during the account order process, you can get the service along with the domain. If you skip this step and you change your mind at a later point in time, you can order the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, through which you can administer the whole semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can turn on the Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register through us after the signup procedure. Renewing or deactivating the service is just as simple and will require only a couple of clicks.
