When you register a domain name, you have to give a genuine street address, email account and telephone number in accordance with the policy adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, however, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is available to the public on WHOIS web sites as well, so anyone can see your info and many people may not be pleased with this. Consequently, many registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the same service. Today, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered with our company is extremely easy in case you have a Linux cloud website hosting package. You can do this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the hosting account – you’ll simply need to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be listed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol, which will be available for each generic or country-code domain that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or deactivate it completely – in case you want to transfer a particular domain name to another company. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your personal or corporate contact details with only a couple of clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your details might be obtained by unauthenticated people.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with us and you register a domain under it, you can activate our Whois Privacy Protection service without any difficulty. This takes just several clicks of the mouse in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage everything connected with your semi-dedicated web hosting account. This is where you can see all your domain names and for each of them you’ll see an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, using which you can enable, renew or deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this can be done only with generic and country-code top-level domain name extensions that support this option and you will be able to see this in advance, so you will not end up paying for a service that we cannot provide.
