When you register a domain, you are requested to supply an authentic postal address, email 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 accessible to the general public on WHOIS sites too, so anyone can see your info and some individuals may not be delighted with that fact. Consequently, numerous domain name registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s info and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also popular as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the same service. Currently, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered through our company is incredibly easy if you have a Linux hosting. You can do this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the web hosting account – you will just have to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be displayed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol, which will be available for each generic or country-code top-level domain name that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or disable it completely – if you wish to transfer a particular domain to some other domain registrar. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your personal or business contact info with just several mouse clicks and stop worrying that your details might be acquired by unauthenticated persons.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you’d like to conceal the contact details associated with your domain and you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to add our Whois Privacy Protection service either during the account activation process or at any time afterwards through our Hepsia Control Panel. This service is optional and can be added with a couple of mouse clicks from the Registered Domains section of the Control Panel where all the domain names that you have registered with our company will be displayed alphabetically. You can enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of the extensions that support the service by simply clicking on the “Whois Privacy Protection” logo on the right-hand side of each domain name. In the very same manner, you can also renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or shut it off – in case you wish to transfer a domain to some other registrar company and you need the actual email associated with the domain to be visible.
