When you register a domain name, you are required to supply an authentic postal address, email and phone in accordance with the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS lookup sites as well, so anyone can view your details and certain individuals may not be satisfied with this. As a result, lots of registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the registrant’s details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the same service. At the moment, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this service.
Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting
If you have ordered a Linux shared hosting package from our company and you have registered one or more domains under your account, you’ll be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without any difficulty and to keep your personal data secure. Of course, this will be possible only with the TLD extensions that support this option. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll notice an “Whois Privacy Protection” sign next to each of your domain names. Its colour will tell you whether a domain 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 enabled the Whois Privacy Protection service during the registration 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 package from us, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains in a few easy steps. If you register or transfer a domain name during the account activation procedure, you can get the service along with the domain name. In case you omit this step and you think things over later, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, through which you can manage the entire semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register with our company after signing up. Renewing or removing the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as easy and will require only a couple of clicks.
