When you register a domain name, you are asked to give a genuine home address, email and phone as per the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is available to the public on WHOIS lookup sites as well, so anybody can see your information and a lot of individuals may not be comfortable with that fact. As a result, many domain registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the exact same service. Now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support the service.
Whois Privacy Protection in Web Hosting
If you have ordered a Linux web hosting package from our company and you’ve registered one or more domain names under your account, you’ll be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without difficulty and to keep your personal data safe. Of course, this will be possible only with the TLD extensions that support this service. In your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll see an “Whois Privacy Protection” sign to the right of each of your domains. Its colour will tell you whether a domain name is Whois Privacy Protected or not and in the second case, you can enable Whois Privacy Protection with just a couple of mouse clicks. In this way, you can secure your private data even if you have not enabled the Whois Privacy Protection service during the signup procedure. You will be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domains just as easily.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names in a few simple steps. If you order a registration or a transfer during the signup process, you can get the service together with the domain name. If you omit this step and you think things over at a later time, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, through which you can administer the entire 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 with us after signup. Renewing or deactivating the service is just as simple and will take only a couple of clicks.
