When you register a domain name, you are required to supply an authentic street address, email account and telephone number as per the policy adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is available to the public on WHOIS check web sites too, so anyone can view your info and certain individuals may not be happy with that fact. Consequently, numerous registrar companies have come up with the so-called ID Protection service, which conceals the domain registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Privacy Protection or WHOIS Protection, but all these names refer to the very same service. Now, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow ID Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support the service.
ID Protection in Cloud Hosting
Activating the ID Protection service for any domain name registered with us is amazingly easy in case you have a cloud plan. You can do this through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the hosting account – you’ll only need to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be displayed and to click the “ID Protect” icon, which will be available for each generic or country-code domain name that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or disable it altogether – if you wish to transfer a specific domain name to a different registrar company. With our ID Protection service, you can hide your private or corporate contact info with only a few clicks and stop worrying that your information might be obtained by unauthenticated individuals.
ID Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you register a domain name under it, you can add our ID Protection service with ease. This requires only a few mouse clicks in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer everything connected with your account. This is the place where you can see all your domain names and for each of them you will find an “ID Protect” icon, using which you can activate, renew or disable the service. Of course, this can be done only with generic and country-specific top-level domain name extensions that support this option and you’ll be able to see this in advance, so you won’t end up requesting a service that we cannot provide.
