When you register a domain, you are asked to provide a genuine address, email and phone as per the policy approved 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 public on WHOIS check web sites too, so anybody can view your details and certain people may not be comfortable with that fact. As a consequence, a lot of domain name registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the very same service. Currently, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

If you order a cloud web hosting plan from our company, you’ll be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names as long as their extensions support the service. You can register/transfer a domain and enable Whois Privacy Protection during the registration process or you can enable the service for any of your domain names at any moment later through the Hepsia Control Panel. The process is stunningly easy – once you log in, you’ll need to go to the Registered Domains section where you will see a list of all the domain names that you have registered through our company. For each one of them you’ll notice an “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will tell you whether the service is activated or not. By clicking it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain name, or you can deactivate the service if it is currently active.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you wish to conceal the contact details for your domain and you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you’ll be able to enable our Whois Privacy Protection service either during the signup procedure or at any moment later through your Hepsia Control Panel. The service is optional and can be activated with a few clicks from the Control Panel’s Registered Domains section where all the domain names that you’ve registered with us will be displayed in alphabetical order. You can order Whois Privacy Protection for any of the top-level domain name extensions that support this service by simply clicking the “Whois Privacy Protection” logo to the right of each domain. In the very same fashion, you can also renew the service or turn it off – in case you would like to transfer a domain to some other domain registrar and you need the real email account associated with the domain name to be visible.
