When you register a domain, you are asked to provide an authentic address, email account and phone as per the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is available to the general public on WHOIS check websites too, so anybody can view your details and many people may not be pleased with this. Consequently, lots of domain name registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to one and the same service. Today, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Web Hosting

If you’ve ordered a shared web hosting from us and you have registered one or more domains under your account, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without any difficulty and to keep your personal details safe. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support such an option. In your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll see an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon to the right of each of your domains. Its colour will let you know whether a domain name is Whois Privacy Protected or not and in the second case, you can activate Whois Privacy Protection with just several clicks of the mouse. In this way, you can secure your personal data even if you haven’t added the Whois Privacy Protection service during the registration process. You’ll be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domains just as easily.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

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 domains by completing a few easy steps. If you register or transfer a domain during the account activation procedure, you can get the service along with the domain name. If you skip this step and you think things over at a later time, you can activate the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you can manage the entire semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can activate Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register through our company after signup. Renewing or deactivating the service is just as easy and will take only a few clicks.
