When you register a domain name, you need to supply a valid home address, email and phone in accordance with the policy approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is available to the public on WHOIS web sites too, so anybody can check your information and certain individuals may not be satisfied with this. As a consequence, lots of domain registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals 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 known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the very same service. At the moment, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting

If you’ve ordered a shared plan from our company and you have registered one or more domains under your account, you’ll be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without any effort and to keep your private details intact. Of course, this can be done only with the extensions that support such a service. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll find an “Whois Privacy Protection” button on the right-hand side of each of your domain names. Its color will inform you whether a domain is Whois Privacy Protected or not and in the second case, you can add Whois Privacy Protection with only several clicks of the mouse. Thus, you can shield your private details even if you have not activated the service during the hosting account activation process. You’ll be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domain names just as easily.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains by completing several easy steps. In case you order a registration/transfer during the account activation process, you can get the service along with the domain. In case you omit this step and you think things over at a later time, you can add 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 enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register with us after signup. Renewing or deactivating the service is just as simple and will take just a couple of clicks.
