In accordance with the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the contact information a domain is registered with must be correct and up to date all the time. Plus, this information is freely visible on WHOIS web sites and while this may be okay for firms, it may not be very convenient for individuals, since everybody can view their names and their personal street and email addresses, especially in an age when identity theft isn’t that unusual. For this reason, domain name registrars have introduced a service that conceals the details of their clients without modifying them. The service is referred to as Whois Privacy Protection. If it’s enabled, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner, if they make a WHOIS enquiry. The Whois Privacy Protection service is supported by all generic domain extensions, but it is still not possible to conceal your personal details with certain country-code extensions.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered through our company is unbelievably easy if you’ve got a cloud hosting. You can achieve this through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the hosting account – you will simply have to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be listed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will be available for each generic or country-code TLD 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 – in case you wish to transfer a certain domain to some other domain registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your personal or business contact info with only a few mouse clicks and stop worrying that your information might be obtained by unauthenticated persons.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server package 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 register or transfer a domain name during the account order procedure, you can get the service along with the domain name. If you skip this step and you think things over at a later point in time, you can order the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you can manage the whole semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register with our company after signup. Renewing or deactivating the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as simple and will require just a couple of clicks of the mouse.
