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 registrants on WHOIS web sites. Without protection, the personal name, home address and email of any domain owner will be freely accessible. Supplying false information during the domain registration procedure or changing the real information later will just not work, as doing such a thing may result in the domain name registrant losing his/her ownership of the domain name. The policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), require that the WHOIS details must be valid and up to date all the time. The Whois Privacy Protection service was launched by registrars as a response to the rising concerns for possible identity fraud. If the protection service is activated, the registrar’s contact info will be shown instead of the registrant’s upon a WHOIS lookup. Most domains support the Whois Privacy Protection service, although there are certain country-code ones that don’t.
Whois Privacy Protection in Web Hosting
If you’ve ordered a web hosting service from us and you’ve registered one or more domain names under your account, you’ll be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without effort and to keep your private information safe. Of course, this can be done only with the extensions that support this option. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll see an “Whois Privacy Protection” sign on the right-hand side of each of your domains. Its color will show you whether a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can enable Whois Privacy Protection with only a few clicks. In this way, you can secure your personal data even if you haven’t enabled the 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 Servers
If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains by taking a couple of easy steps. In case you register or transfer a domain name during the account order process, you can get the service together with the domain name. In case you omit this step and you think things over at a later time, you can order the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you can administer the entire semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can activate Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register with our company after the signup procedure. Renewing or deactivating the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as easy and will take no more than a few clicks.
