When you register a domain, you are required to give an authentic street address, email account and telephone as per the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS websites too, so anybody can see your information and many people may not be happy with that fact. Consequently, many companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s details and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also popular as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the same service. Today, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered with us is exceptionally easy in case you’ve got a shared hosting. You can accomplish this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the hosting account – you’ll just need to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be listed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will be available for each domain name that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or disable it altogether – if you would like to transfer a particular domain name to another domain name registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your personal or business contact info with only a couple of clicks and stop worrying that your details might be obtained by unauthorized individuals.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case 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 effort. This requires only several mouse clicks in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you administer everything associated with your semi-dedicated hosting account. This is the place where you can see all your domains and for each one of them you’ll see an “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, using which you can order, renew or disable the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this will be possible only with generic and country-code Top-Level Domain extensions that support this option and you’ll be able to see this beforehand, so you will not end up requesting a service that we can’t provide.
