When you register a domain, you are required to give an authentic postal address, email account and telephone number in accordance with the policy adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is available to the public on WHOIS lookup web sites too, so anybody can check your info and many people may not be comfortable with that fact. Consequently, plenty of domain registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s contact details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also popular as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the exact same service. Today, most of the top-level domain names around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Website Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered through our company is incredibly easy if you’ve got a website hosting. You can achieve this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage your web hosting account – you’ll simply have 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 TLD that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or disable it altogether – if you wish to transfer a certain domain to another company. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your private or business contact information with only a few mouse clicks and stop worrying that your details might be obtained by unauthenticated persons.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you register a domain under it, you can add our Whois Privacy Protection service without effort. This takes only a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you manage everything connected with your account. This is where you can see all your active domain names and for each one of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, using which you can enable, renew or deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this will be possible only with generic and country-specific Top-Level Domain extensions that support this option and you will be able to see this in advance, so you won’t end up purchasing a service that we cannot provide.
