When you register a domain name, you are required to give an authentic address, email account and telephone number as per the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS check websites too, so anybody can see your info and lots of people may not be delighted with that fact. As a result, many companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the very same service. Nowadays, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered with us is unbelievably easy in case you’ve got a shared hosting package. You can achieve this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage your hosting account – you will just have to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be listed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” button, which will be available for each generic or country-code Top-Level Domain that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or deactivate it completely – in case you would like to transfer a given domain to a different company. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your personal or business contact information with just a few clicks and stop worrying that your info might be acquired by unsolicited persons.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Enabling Whois Privacy Protection for any domain is really easy if you’ve got a semi-dedicated server. As long as the domain name is registered with our company, it will be listed in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with each semi-dedicated package. In case a given generic or country-code Top-Level Domain supports Whois Privacy Protection, you will notice a small sign next to that domain. To activate the service, you’ll have to click on it. In the same fashion, you can also renew or remove the service. You can order Whois Privacy Protection for a domain during the signup procedure as well, but since the service is optional, we’ll offer you the opportunity to add it to any of your domains later in case you think things over and opt to conceal your personal details from the public after you have already ordered the account.
