When you register a domain name, you are requested to supply a valid street address, email and telephone number in accordance with the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS lookup websites too, so anyone can view your information and some individuals may not be okay with this. As a consequence, a lot of companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s contact information and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the very same service. As of now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting

You can easily activate Whois Privacy Protection for any domain name that you’ve registered with our company if you’ve got a shared hosting account with us. This can be achieved through the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you administer the web hosting account, so you will not have to switch between different systems. In the exact same section where all your registered domain names will be listed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for every domain whose extension supports this service. The status of that icon will quickly show you if the Whois Privacy Protection service is enabled for a given domain or not and by clicking on that icon you can enable the service in case you have not done so during the account activation procedure. Moreover, you will also be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name using the same icon and the update will take effect instantly.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains by taking a couple of easy steps. If you register or transfer a domain during the account activation procedure, you can get the service together with the domain name. If you omit this step and you think things over later, you can enable the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you can administer the entire semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register through our company after signing up. Renewing or removing the service is just as easy and will require only a couple of clicks of the mouse.
