When you register a domain name, you are asked to provide a valid postal address, email and phone as per the policy approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is visible to the general public on WHOIS lookup websites too, so anyone can view your details and lots of people may not be OK with that fact. As a consequence, plenty of registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain name registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to one and the same service. Today, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

You can easily enable Whois Privacy Protection for any domain name that you’ve registered through our company in case you have a cloud web hosting account with us. This can be done through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the hosting account itself, so you won’t have to go through different admin interfaces. In the same section where all your active domains will be listed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for each and every domain whose extension supports this option. The status of this icon will quickly show you if the Whois Privacy Protection service is enabled for a particular domain or not and by clicking on that icon you can enable the service if you have not done so upon registration. In addition, you’ll also be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name using the very same icon and the change will take effect instantly.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains by completing a few easy steps. In case you order a registration/transfer during the signup process, you can get the service together with the domain name. In case you skip this step and you think things over at a later point in time, you can activate the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, through which you can manage the whole semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register with us after the signup procedure. Renewing or removing the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as simple and will take just several mouse clicks.
