When you register a domain, you have to supply a valid street address, email account and telephone number in accordance with the policy adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, though, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is available to the public on WHOIS web sites as well, so anybody can view your information and certain people may not be satisfied with this. Consequently, many registrar companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the same service. As of now, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

You can effortlessly activate Whois Privacy Protection for any domain that you have registered with our company if you’ve got a cloud hosting account with us. This can be done through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the hosting account, so you won’t have to use different admin interfaces. In the same section where all your active domain names will be displayed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for each domain name whose extension supports this service. The status of each icon will quickly show you if the Whois Privacy Protection service is activated for a given domain or not and by clicking that icon you can add the service if you have not done so during the signup procedure. Moreover, you’ll also be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain using the very same icon and the change will take effect right away.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you register a domain under it, you can enable our Whois Privacy Protection service effortlessly. This takes just a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you manage everything connected with your semi-dedicated web hosting account. This is the place where you can see all your active domains and for each one of them you will find an “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, using which you can activate, renew or deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this can be done only with generic and country-code domain extensions that support this option and you will be able to see this beforehand, so you will not end up purchasing a service that we can’t provide.
