When you register a domain name, you are asked to supply a valid postal address, email and telephone number as per the policy approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is visible to the general public on WHOIS lookup web sites too, so anyone can see your info and many people may not be pleased with that fact. Consequently, plenty of domain name registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the registrant’s contact 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 Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the exact same service. Now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you order a cloud hosting package from us, you’ll be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names in case their extensions support this option. You can register or transfer a domain name and add Whois Privacy Protection during the account activation procedure or you can activate the service for any of your domains at any time later via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The procedure is really easy – once you sign in, you will have to go to the Registered Domains section where you’ll see a list of all the domains that you’ve registered with our company. For each of them you will notice an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, which will tell you if the service is active 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 active.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names by completing a couple of easy steps. In case you register or transfer a domain name during the signup process, you can get the service together with the domain name. In case you skip this step and you think things over afterwards, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you can manage the whole semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register with our company after the signup procedure. Renewing or disabling the service is just as simple and will take no more than several clicks.
