When you register a domain, you need to give a genuine postal address, email account and telephone in accordance with the policies approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is visible to the public on WHOIS lookup web sites too, so anyone can see your information and many people may not be OK with this. As a result, a lot of domain name registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s details and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to one and the same service. As of now, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered with our company is exceptionally easy if you have a cloud hosting. You can accomplish this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the web hosting account – you’ll simply have to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be listed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will be available for each domain that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or deactivate it altogether – if you would like to transfer a particular domain to some other company. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your personal or business contact information with just several clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your info might be obtained by unauthorized persons.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you want to hide the contact info for your domain name and you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to enable our Whois Privacy Protection service either during the account activation process or at any time afterwards through our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The service is optional and can be added with a couple of clicks from the Registered Domains section of the Control Panel where all the domains that you’ve registered with us will be listed in alphabetical order. You can enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of the domain extensions that support this service by simply clicking the “Whois Privacy Protection” logo next to each domain name. In the exact same manner, you can also renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or shut it off – in case you would like to transfer a domain name to another company and you need the actual email account associated with the domain to be visible.
