In accordance with the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the contact information a domain name is registered with must be correct and accurate all the time. In addition, this info is freely visible on WHOIS lookup sites and while this may not be a problem for firms, it may not be very convenient for individuals, since everyone can see their names and their personal postal and email addresses, all the more so in times when identity theft isn’t that infrequent. That’s why domain name registrars have come up with a service that hides the details of their customers without modifying them. The service is called Whois Privacy Protection. If it’s enabled, people will view the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s, if they make a WHOIS enquiry. The Whois Privacy Protection service is supported by all generic domain name extensions, but it is still impossible to conceal your personal details with some country-code ones.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting
If you order a cloud website hosting plan from us, you’ll be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domains provided that their extensions support this option. You can register/transfer a domain and add Whois Privacy Protection upon signup or you can activate the service for any of your domains at any time afterwards via the Hepsia Control Panel. The process is very easy – once you log in, you’ll have to visit the Registered Domains section where you will notice a list of all the domains that you’ve registered through us. For each one of them you’ll notice an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will inform you if the service is activated or not. By clicking on it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain, or you can disable the service if it is currently active.
