When you register a domain name, you have to give an authentic home address, email account and phone as per the policy adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is visible to the public on WHOIS web sites too, so anyone can check your details and many people may not be okay with this. Consequently, many companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s contact information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the very same service. At the moment, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting

If you’ve ordered a shared plan from our company and you have registered one or more domain names under your account, you will be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of them effortlessly and to keep your personal info safe. Of course, this can be done only with the extensions that support such an option. In your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll notice an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo to the right of each of your domains. Its colour will show you if a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can enable Whois Privacy Protection with just a couple of mouse clicks. In this way, you can shield your personal information even if you have not enabled the service during the web hosting account activation procedure. You’ll be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domain names just as easily.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you register a domain name under it, you can enable our Whois Privacy Protection service effortlessly. This takes only a couple of mouse clicks in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage everything associated with your account. This is where you can see all your registered domains and for each of them you’ll find an “Whois Privacy Protection” button, using which you can enable, renew or deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this will be possible only with generic and country-code top-level domain name extensions that are Whois Privacy Protection-eligible and you will be able to see this beforehand, so you will not end up purchasing a service that we cannot provide.
