In accordance with the policy adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the contact info a domain name is registered with must be valid and up to date at all times. Plus, this information is publicly visible on WHOIS web sites and while this may be okay for corporations, it may not be very convenient for individuals, because everybody can see their names and their personal email and home addresses, especially in times when identity fraud is not that rare. Because of this, registrars have launched a service that conceals the details of their customers without changing them. The service is referred to as Whois Privacy Protection. In case it’s active, people will see the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner, if they do a WHOIS lookup. The Whois Privacy Protection service is supported by all generic TLD extensions, but it’s still not possible to conceal your info with certain country-code extensions.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting
If you get a cloud hosting plan from us, you’ll be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domains provided that their extensions support this service. You can register or transfer a domain and enable Whois Privacy Protection upon registration or you can activate the service for any of your domain names at any time later via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The procedure is stunningly easy – once you log in, you’ll have to visit the Registered Domains section where you’ll notice a list of all the domains that you’ve registered with our company. For each of them you’ll notice an “Whois Privacy Protection” button, which will show you whether the service is enabled or not. By clicking on it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain, or you can turn off the service if it is currently activated.
