When you register a domain, you are obliged to supply an authentic address, email account and telephone as per the policy 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 websites too, so anybody can view your info and some individuals may not be OK with this. Consequently, a lot of domain name registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the registrant’s information and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the same service. As of now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

If you get a cloud website hosting package from our company, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names provided that their extensions support the service. You can register/transfer a domain and enable Whois Privacy Protection during the registration process or you can activate the service for any of your domains at any moment afterwards via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The process is extremely easy – once you log in, you’ll need to visit the Registered Domains section where you’ll notice a list of all the domains that you have registered with our company. For each one of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will show you whether the service is activated or not. By clicking on 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 plan from our company, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names by following a few easy steps. In case you register or transfer a domain during the account order procedure, you can get the service along with the domain. In case you omit this step and you change your mind at a later time, you can order the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, through which you can manage the entire semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can turn on the Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register with us after signup. Renewing or disabling the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as easy and will require only a couple of clicks.
