When you register a domain name, you have to provide an authentic home address, email account and telephone number as per the policy adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, however, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is visible to the general public on WHOIS check websites as well, so anyone can view your information and many people may not be OK with that fact. As a result, many domain registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the registrant’s contact info and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the very same service. Today, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered through our company is amazingly easy if you have a cloud hosting plan. You can achieve this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer your hosting account – you’ll just need to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be displayed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will be available for each generic or country-code domain that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or disable it completely – in case you would like to transfer a certain domain name to some other domain name registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your personal or corporate contact info with only several clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your information might be obtained by unauthorized persons.
