When you register a domain name, you need to provide a valid postal address, email and telephone in accordance with the policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, though, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS lookup sites too, so anyone can see your details and a lot of people may not be comfortable with that fact. As a result, numerous registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s contact information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also popular as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to one and the same service. Today, 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 the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Web Hosting

If you have ordered a web hosting plan from our company and you’ve registered one or more domains under your account, you’ll be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of them with ease and to keep your private data safe. Of course, this will be possible only with the TLD extensions that support such a service. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll find an “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol to the right of each of your domains. Its color will inform you whether a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can enable Whois Privacy Protection with only several clicks of the mouse. In this way, you can safeguard your personal info even if you haven’t added the service during the hosting account order procedure. You will be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domains just as easily.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server package from us, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains in a couple of easy steps. In case you register or transfer a domain during the account order procedure, you can get the service together with the domain name. If you skip this step and you change your mind afterwards, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you can administer the entire semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register through us after signing up. Renewing or removing the service is just as easy and will take only a couple of clicks of the mouse.
