When you register a domain name, you are obliged to provide a valid street address, email and phone 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 domain name registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS check web sites as well, so anyone can check your info and a lot of people may not be okay with that fact. As a result, lots of registrar companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s information and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also popular as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the exact same service. Now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered with us is unbelievably easy in case you’ve got a Linux cloud package. You can accomplish this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the web hosting account – you will only need to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be displayed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will be available for each generic or country-code top-level domain name that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or deactivate it completely – if you’d like to transfer a certain domain to another company. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your personal or business contact info with only several clicks and stop worrying that your details might be obtained by unsolicited people.
