Whois Privacy Protection, at times also called WHOIS or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that hides the authentic contact details of domain name owners on WHOIS lookup web sites. Without this service, the name, postal address and email account of any domain name owner will be freely accessible. Giving fake info during the domain registration process or altering the authentic information later will simply not work, as doing such a thing may result in the registrant losing his/her ownership of the domain. The policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, require that the WHOIS details must be correct and accurate at all times. The Whois Privacy Protection service was launched by registrars as an answer to the increasing concerns for possible identity theft. If the service is enabled, the domain name registrar’s contact information will be listed instead of the domain name registrant’s upon a WHOIS check. Most domains support the Whois Privacy Protection service, although there are some country-code ones that do not.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered through our company is amazingly easy if you have a cloud website hosting. You can accomplish this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer your web hosting account – you’ll simply need to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be displayed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will be available for each domain name that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or disable it altogether – if you would like to transfer a certain domain name to a different domain name registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your private or corporate contact info with just a few clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your information might be obtained by unauthenticated individuals.
