When you register a domain name, you are required to provide a valid postal address, email and telephone as per the policy approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is available to the public on WHOIS web sites as well, so anybody can view your info and certain individuals may not be comfortable with that fact. Consequently, numerous companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the exact same service. Nowadays, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered with our company is amazingly easy if you have a Linux hosting. You can do this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the hosting account – you will only have to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be listed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” button, which will be available for each generic or country-code TLD 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 specific domain name to another registrar company. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your personal or business contact details with only several clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your information might be obtained by unauthenticated individuals.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names by following a few easy steps. If you order a registration or a transfer during the signup procedure, you can get the service along with the domain name. In case you skip this step and you think things over at a later time, you can enable the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you can manage the entire semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can activate Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register with our company after the signup procedure. Renewing or deactivating the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as simple and will require no more than a couple of mouse clicks.
