When you register a domain name, you need to give a genuine address, email account and telephone number as per the policy adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS lookup sites too, so anyone can check your information and lots of individuals may not be happy with that fact. As a result, numerous domain name registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s contact information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the very same service. Now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered with us is remarkably easy in case you have a Linux cloud hosting package. You can achieve this through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the web hosting account – you’ll only need to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be listed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will be available for each generic or country-code 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 disable it altogether – if you want to transfer a certain domain name to a different company. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your private or corporate contact info with just a few mouse clicks and stop worrying that your info might be obtained by unsolicited people.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you register a domain name under it, you can add our Whois Privacy Protection service without effort. This requires just a couple of clicks in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you administer everything connected with your semi-dedicated web hosting account. This is the place where you can see all your active domains and for each one of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, using which you can activate, renew or disable the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this will be possible only with generic and country-specific domain name extensions that are Whois Privacy Protection-eligible and you will be able to see this in advance, so you won’t end up ordering a service that we cannot provide.
