When you register a domain, you are asked to supply an authentic postal address, email account and phone number in accordance with the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, however, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is visible to the public on WHOIS check websites as well, so anybody can see your info and lots of individuals may not be okay with this. As a consequence, plenty of domain name registrars 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 domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to one and the same service. Currently, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this service.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Web Hosting
If you’ve ordered a Linux cloud web hosting from us and you have registered one or more domain names under your account, you will be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without difficulty and to keep your personal details safe. Of course, this will be possible only with the TLD extensions that support this service. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you will notice an “Whois Privacy Protection” sign next to each of your domains. Its color will tell you whether a domain name is protected or not and in the second case, you can activate Whois Privacy Protection with just a few mouse clicks. In this way, you can shield your private details even if you have not activated the Whois Privacy Protection service during the web hosting account activation process. You will be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domain names just as easily.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
Ordering Whois Privacy Protection for any domain is unbelievably easy in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server. As long as the domain name is registered with us, it will be listed in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with each and every semi-dedicated package. In case a specific generic or country-specific domain supports Whois Privacy Protection, you will see a small button next to that domain. To activate the Whois Privacy Protection service, you’ll have to click on it. In the very same manner, you can also renew or disable the service. You can order Whois Privacy Protection for a domain name during the account order procedure too, but since the service is optional, we’ll offer you the chance to add it to any of your domains at a later point in time in case you think things over and decide to hide your personal information from the general public after you have already created the account.
