According to the policy approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the contact information a domain name is registered with must be valid and accurate at all times. Additionally, this information is openly available on WHOIS websites and while this may be okay for companies, it may not be very acceptable for individuals, because everyone can view their names and their personal email and postal addresses, all the more so in an age when identity fraud is not that infrequent. That is why registrars have launched a service that conceals the details of their clients without changing them. The service is called Whois Privacy Protection. If it is active, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s, if they make a WHOIS search. The Whois Privacy Protection service is supported by all generic Top-Level Domain extensions, but it’s still impossible to hide your details with certain country-code ones.
Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Web Hosting
If you get a shared web hosting package from us, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names provided that their extensions support this option. You can register or transfer a domain and add Whois Privacy Protection during the account activation process or you can activate the service for any of your domain names at any time afterwards via the Hepsia Control Panel. The process is astonishingly easy – after you sign in, you will have to visit the Registered Domains section where you’ll find a list of all the domain names that you have registered with our company. For each one of them you will notice an “Whois Privacy Protection” button, which will show you if the service is activated or not. By clicking it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain name, or you can turn off the service if it is currently activated.
