When you register a domain name, you are obliged to provide a valid address, email and telephone number in accordance with the policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is available to the general public on WHOIS check sites too, so anybody can see your info and a lot of people may not be happy with that fact. As a result, a lot of domain name registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s contact info and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the exact same service. As of now, most of the Top-Level Domains 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 Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered through our company is unbelievably easy in case you have a Linux hosting package. You can do this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer your hosting account – you’ll only have to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be listed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will be available for each generic or country-code top-level domain name that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or disable it altogether – if you wish to transfer a certain domain name to another company. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your personal or corporate contact information with only several mouse clicks and stop worrying that your information might be obtained by unsolicited persons.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you would like to conceal the contact info for your domain and you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to add our Whois Privacy Protection service either during the signup process or at any time afterwards through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The service is optional and can be activated with a couple of clicks from the Control Panel’s Registered Domains section where all the domains that you’ve registered through our company will be listed in alphabetical order. You can order Whois Privacy Protection for any of the TLD extensions that support this service by simply clicking the “Whois Privacy Protection” button on the right-hand side of each domain name. In the exact same fashion, you can also renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or remove it – if you wish to transfer a domain to another registrar and you need the actual mailbox associated with the domain to be visible.
