When you register a domain, you have to provide a valid address, email account and phone as per the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, however, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS web sites as well, so anyone can see your info and many individuals may not be satisfied with that fact. As a consequence, many companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain name registrant’s details and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the very same service. Nowadays, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered with us is surprisingly easy if you have a cloud website hosting. You can achieve this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the web hosting account – you’ll only need to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be listed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, which will be available for each generic or country-code Top-Level Domain that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or deactivate it completely – in case you want to transfer a given domain name to a different registrar company. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your personal or business contact info with just a few clicks and stop worrying that your info might be obtained by unsolicited people.

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 following a couple of simple steps. If you order a registration or a transfer during the account order procedure, you can get the service along with the domain name. In case you skip this step and you think things over afterwards, 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 server account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register through us after signup. Renewing or deactivating the service is just as easy and will require no more than a couple of clicks.
