When you register a domain, you are asked to provide a valid home address, email and phone number as per the policies approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, though, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS check websites as well, so anyone can see your information and lots of people may not be pleased with that fact. Consequently, plenty of registrar companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the same service. Now, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered through us is amazingly easy if you’ve got a shared hosting. You can do this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage your hosting account – you will simply need to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be displayed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, which will be available for each top-level domain name that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or disable it altogether – if you’d like to transfer a particular domain to another registrar company. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your personal or business contact info with only a few clicks and stop worrying that your information might be acquired by unsolicited individuals.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names by following a few simple steps. If you order a registration/transfer during the account order process, you can get the service along with the domain name. If you skip this step and you think things over later, you can activate the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, through which you can administer the whole semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can activate Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register through our company after signing up. Renewing or removing the service is just as easy and will take no more than several clicks.
