Whois Privacy Protection, at times also called WHOIS or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that conceals the genuine contact details of domain name owners on WHOIS websites. Without such protection, the name, address and email of any domain name registrant will be publicly visible. Giving false information during the domain name registration procedure or changing the real details at a later time will just not work, as doing such a thing may result in the registrant losing his/her domain ownership rights. The policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, require that the WHOIS details must be correct and up to date all the time. The Whois Privacy Protection service was introduced by domain name registrars as an answer to the growing concerns about possible identity fraud. If the service is enabled, the registrar’s contact information will appear instead of the domain registrant’s upon a WHOIS lookup. Most domain names support the Whois Privacy Protection service, although there are certain country-code ones that do not.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Web Hosting
Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered through our company is amazingly easy if you’ve got a Linux cloud web hosting. You can achieve this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage your hosting account – you will only need to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be listed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” button, which will be available for each generic or country-code Top-Level Domain that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or deactivate it altogether – in case you would like to transfer a given domain to some other domain name registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your private or business contact details with only several clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your info might be obtained by unauthenticated individuals.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains by taking a couple of simple steps. In case you order a registration or a transfer during the signup procedure, you can get the service together with the domain. In case you omit this step and you think things over at a later point in time, you can activate 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 our company after the signup process. Renewing or deactivating the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as easy and will require only several mouse clicks.
