Whois Privacy Protection, occasionally also referred to as Privacy or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that conceals the genuine contact details of domain owners on WHOIS check web sites. Without protection, the personal name, address and email account of any domain name owner will be openly visible. Supplying fake info during the domain registration process or altering the authentic details at a later time will simply not work, as doing such a thing may result in the domain registrant losing their ownership of the domain name. The policies approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), demand that the WHOIS information must be valid and up to date all the time. The Whois Privacy Protection service was launched by domain registrars as an answer to the increasing concerns about potential identity fraud. If the service is active, the registrar company’s contact info will be listed instead of the client’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 Website Hosting
If you get a cloud website hosting plan from us, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names as long as their extensions support this option. You can register/transfer a domain and enable Whois Privacy Protection during the registration procedure or you can enable the service for any of your domain names at any time later through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The process is really easy – after you sign in, you will have to go to the Registered Domains section where you will see a list of all the domains that you’ve registered through us. For each of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will inform you whether the service is enabled 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
In case you want to hide the contact information for your domain and you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to activate our Whois Privacy Protection service either during the account activation procedure or at any moment later via our Hepsia Control Panel. The service is optional and can be added with a couple of clicks from the Control Panel’s Registered Domains section where all the domain names that you have registered with us will be displayed alphabetically. You can order Whois Privacy Protection for any of the TLD extensions that support this service by simply clicking the “Whois Privacy Protection” button next to each domain name. In the exact same way, you can also renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or turn it off – in case you would like to transfer a domain to a different company and you need the actual email associated with the domain to be visible.
