When you register a domain name, you are asked to supply an authentic postal address, email account and telephone number as per the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS sites as well, so anyone can see your information and some people may not be delighted with this. Consequently, a lot of domain name registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain name registrant’s information and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the very same service. Currently, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

If you order a cloud web hosting package from us, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names in case their extensions support the service. You can register or transfer a domain and enable Whois Privacy Protection during the account activation process or you can enable the service for any of your domain names at any moment later via the Hepsia Control Panel. The process is stunningly easy – after you sign in, you’ll need to visit the Registered Domains section where you will find a list of all the domains that you have registered through us. For each of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will tell you if the service is activated or not. By clicking on it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain name, or you can deactivate the service if it is currently active.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you want to hide the contact information associated with your domain name and you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to add our Whois Privacy Protection service either upon registration or at any time later via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. This service is optional and can be added with several clicks from the Registered Domains section of the Control Panel where all the domains that you’ve registered through our company will be listed alphabetically. You can order Whois Privacy Protection for any of the top-level domain name extensions that support the service by simply clicking the “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol next to each domain name. In the same way, you can also renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or disable it – in case you’d like to transfer a domain to some other registrar and you need the actual email address associated with the domain to be visible.
