When you register a domain, you are asked to give an authentic street address, email account and telephone in accordance with the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is visible to the general public on WHOIS sites too, so anyone can check your information and lots of individuals may not be satisfied with this. As a result, numerous registrar companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain name registrant’s details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to one and the same service. At the moment, 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 this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered through our company is amazingly easy in case you’ve got a Linux cloud web hosting. You can do this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer your hosting account – you’ll just have to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be listed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will be available for each generic or country-code Top-Level Domain that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or disable it completely – in case you wish to transfer a certain domain name to a different registrar company. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your personal or business contact details with just a few clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your details might be obtained by unauthorized individuals.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you’d like to conceal the contact info for your domain and you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to activate our Whois Privacy Protection service either upon signup or at any moment later via your 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 domain names that you have registered through us will be listed in alphabetical order. You can activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of the TLD extensions that support this service by simply clicking on the “Whois Privacy Protection” button to the right of each domain. In the same manner, you can also renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or shut it off – in case you wish to transfer a domain name to a different registrar and you need the actual email account associated with the domain to be visible.
