When you register a domain name, you are requested to give a genuine street address, email and phone number as per the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS lookup sites as well, so anyone can view your details and lots of individuals may not be comfortable with that fact. As a result, numerous companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s contact info and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the exact same service. At the moment, most of the top-level domain names around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support the service.

If you get a cloud web hosting plan from us, you’ll be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names provided that their extensions support the service.

For each one of them you’ll notice an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will let you know whether the service is active or not. By clicking on it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain name, or you can turn off the service if it is currently enabled.
