When you register a domain, you need to give a genuine address, email and telephone number as per the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS lookup web sites too, so anyone can check your info and lots of people may not be delighted with this. As a consequence, plenty of companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain name registrant’s details and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the very same service. As of now, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

If you order a cloud website hosting plan from us, you’ll be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names on the condition that their extensions support the service. You can register or transfer a domain and add Whois Privacy Protection upon signup or you can enable the service for any of your domain names at any time afterwards via the Hepsia Control Panel. The procedure is stunningly easy – once you sign in, you’ll have to go to the Registered Domains section where you will find a list of all the domains that you’ve registered through our company. For each of them you will notice an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, which will let you know if the service is activated or not. By clicking it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain, or you can deactivate the service if it is currently active.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names by following a couple of easy steps. If you order a registration/transfer during the account order procedure, you can get the service along with the domain. If you skip this step and you think things over at a later point in time, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you can manage the entire semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can activate Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register through us after the signup process. Renewing or deactivating the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as easy and will require only a couple of clicks.
