Whois Privacy Protection, sometimes also referred to as Privacy or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that conceals the authentic contact details of domain name owners on WHOIS check web sites. Without protection, the personal name, street address and email account of any domain owner will be openly available. Giving fake details during the domain registration process or altering the real details afterwards will just not work, as doing such a thing may result in the registrant losing their ownership of the domain. The policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), require that the WHOIS details must be correct and up to date at all times. The Whois Privacy Protection service was introduced by domain registrars as a response to the increasing concerns for possible identity fraud. If the service is active, the registrar company’s contact information will be listed instead of the domain registrant’s upon a WHOIS check. Most domains support the Whois Privacy Protection service, although there are certain country-code extensions that don’t.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered through our company is incredibly easy if you’ve got a cloud hosting. You can do this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the hosting account – you’ll simply need to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be listed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” button, 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 service or disable it altogether – if you’d like to transfer a certain domain to a different domain name registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your personal or business contact info with only several clicks and stop worrying that your details might be acquired by unauthorized people.

If you omit this step and you change your mind later, you can activate the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you can administer the whole semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can turn on the Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register through our company after signing up. Renewing or removing the service is just as simple and will require only several mouse clicks.
