When you register a domain, you are asked to provide a valid address, email and phone 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 visible to the public on WHOIS sites as well, so anyone can view your information and some individuals may not be delighted with that fact. Consequently, plenty of domain name registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain registrant’s information and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also popular 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 world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Web Hosting

If you’ve ordered a web hosting from our company and you’ve registered one or more domain names under your account, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without any effort and to keep your personal data intact. Of course, this can be done only with the extensions that support such an option. In your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll see an “Whois Privacy Protection” sign on the right-hand side of each of your domain names. Its colour will tell you whether a domain is Whois Privacy Protected or not and in the second case, you can add Whois Privacy Protection with just a few mouse clicks. In this way, you can shield your private info even if you have not activated the service during the hosting account activation procedure. You will be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domain names just as easily.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you would like to hide the contact details for your domain name and you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you’ll be able to enable our Whois Privacy Protection service either during the account order procedure or at any time afterwards through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The service is optional and can be enabled with several clicks from the Control Panel’s Registered Domains section where all the domain names that you’ve registered with our company will be displayed in alphabetical order. You can order Whois Privacy Protection for any of the TLD extensions that support the service by simply clicking on the “Whois Privacy Protection” sign next to each domain name. In the exact same manner, you can also renew the service or disable it – in case you’d like to transfer a domain name to a different registrar and you need the actual email address associated with the domain to be visible.
