Whois Privacy Protection, sometimes also referred to as WHOIS or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that conceals the real contact info of domain owners on WHOIS sites. Without protection, the name, postal address and email account of any domain registrant will be publicly available. Providing fake info during the domain name registration procedure or changing the genuine info afterwards will just not work, as doing such a thing may result in the domain name registrant losing his/her ownership rights. The policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), require that the WHOIS information must be valid and up to date at all times. The Whois Privacy Protection service was introduced by domain name registrars as a response to the growing concerns for possible identity theft. If the service is enabled, the registrar company’s contact information will be listed instead of the registrant’s upon a WHOIS check. Most domains support the Whois Privacy Protection service, even though there are some country-code extensions that do not.

If you get a cloud web hosting package from us, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domains provided that their extensions support the service.

The process is exceptionally easy – after you sign in, you will have to visit the Registered Domains section where you will find a list of all the domains that you have registered with us. For each of them you will notice an “Whois Privacy Protection” button, which will tell you if the service is activated or not. By clicking on it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain, or you can turn off the service if it is currently activated.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains by following a couple of simple steps. In case you register or transfer a domain name during the account order process, you can get the service together with the domain.
