When you register a domain name, you need to give a genuine street address, email account and telephone as per the policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, however, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is visible to the public on WHOIS lookup web sites too, so anyone can check your info and lots of people may not be pleased with this. As a consequence, numerous companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain registrant’s details and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these terms 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-specific extensions that don’t support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Website Hosting

If you have ordered a Linux website hosting package from our company and you have registered one or more domain names under your account, you will be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of them with ease and to keep your personal details secure. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support this option. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you will find an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon next to each of your domains. Its color will show you if a domain name is protected or not and in the second case, you can activate Whois Privacy Protection with only a couple of mouse clicks. Thus, you can protect your private information even if you haven’t added the Whois Privacy Protection service during the web hosting account order process. You will be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domain names just as easily.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with us and you register a domain name under it, you can activate our Whois Privacy Protection service with ease. This takes just several clicks in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage everything connected with your account. This is where you can see all your domains and for each of them you will find an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, using which you can enable, renew or disable the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this can be done only with generic and country-code TLD extensions that are Whois Privacy Protection-eligible and you’ll be able to see this in advance, so that you will not end up ordering a service that we cannot provide.
