When you register a domain name, you are requested to supply an authentic street address, email and telephone in accordance with the policies 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 sites too, so anyone can check your info and some individuals may not be delighted with this. As a consequence, lots of registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see 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. Today, most of the top-level domain names around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered through us is exceptionally easy in case you have a Linux hosting. You can achieve this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the web hosting account – you’ll just need to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be displayed and to click 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 Whois Privacy Protection service or deactivate it altogether – in case you want to transfer a given domain to some other company. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your personal or corporate contact details with only several mouse clicks and stop worrying that your information might be acquired by unauthorized persons.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

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 domains by completing a few easy steps. If you register or transfer a domain during the account activation process, 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 activate the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, through which you can manage the whole semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can activate Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register through our company after signup. Renewing or removing the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as easy and will take only a couple of clicks.
