When you register a domain, you are obliged to give a genuine street address, email and phone as per the policies approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, however, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is available to the general public on WHOIS sites as well, so anyone can check your information and some individuals may not be delighted with that fact. As a consequence, plenty of registrar companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the same service. Today, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

If you’ve ordered a cloud web hosting from our company and you’ve registered one or more domains under your account, you’ll be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without effort and to keep your personal info intact. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support this service. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon on the right-hand side of each of your domains. Its colour will inform you whether a domain name is Whois Privacy Protected or not and in the second case, you can activate Whois Privacy Protection with only a couple of mouse clicks. Thus, you can secure your personal data even if you haven’t enabled the Whois Privacy Protection service during the registration procedure. You’ll be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domains just as easily.
