When you register a domain, you need to supply an authentic postal address, email account and telephone number 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 visible to the public on WHOIS lookup web sites too, so anybody can see your information and many people may not be happy with this. As a result, a lot of domain registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain name registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view 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 expressions refer to the very same service. Today, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you have ordered a Linux cloud hosting from our company and you’ve registered one or more domain names under your account, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them with ease and to keep your private info safe. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support such an option. In your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will find an “Whois Privacy Protection” sign next to each of your domain names. Its color will tell you whether a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can enable Whois Privacy Protection with only a few clicks of the mouse. In this way, you can shield your personal details even if you have not enabled the service during the web hosting account activation procedure. You’ll be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domain names just as easily.

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 taking a few easy steps. In case you register or transfer a domain name during the account activation procedure, you can get the service together with the domain. If you omit this step and you think things over at a later point in time, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you can manage the entire semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register with our company after the signup process. Renewing or removing the service is just as easy and will take only several mouse clicks.
