When you register a domain, you have to supply a genuine postal address, email account and telephone number as per the policies approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS lookup sites too, so anybody can check your info and some people may not be satisfied with this. Consequently, plenty of domain name registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the registrant’s contact information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the exact same service. Today, most of the top-level domain names around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

You can quickly activate Whois Privacy Protection for any domain name that you’ve registered with our company if you’ve got a cloud web hosting account with us. This can be accomplished through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the hosting account itself, so you won’t need to sign in and out of different systems. In the very same section where all your registered domains will be displayed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for every domain whose extension supports this service. The status of this icon will quickly show you whether the Whois Privacy Protection service is enabled for a specific domain name or not and by clicking on that icon you can enable the service in case you have not done so during the account activation procedure. Moreover, you will also be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name using that same icon and the update will take effect instantly.
