When you register a domain, you are obliged to supply a genuine postal address, email and phone number as per the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, however, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is available to the general public on WHOIS check websites as well, so anyone can check your information and certain people may not be satisfied with that fact. As a result, many domain registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also popular as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the very same service. Now, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

You can effortlessly activate Whois Privacy Protection for any domain name that you have registered with our company in case you have a cloud hosting account with us. This can be accomplished through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the web hosting account, so you won’t need to go through different platforms. In the same section where all your registered domain names will be listed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for every domain name whose extension supports this option. The status of that icon will quickly show you whether the Whois Privacy Protection service is activated for a given domain or not and by clicking that icon you can activate the service if you have not done so during the account activation process. Besides, you will also be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain using the exact same icon and the change will take effect instantaneously.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us and you register a domain name under it, you can enable our Whois Privacy Protection service effortlessly. This requires just a couple of mouse clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you administer everything connected with your semi-dedicated web hosting account. This is where you can see all your domains and for each of them you’ll find an “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol, using which you can order, renew or disable the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this can be done only with generic and country-code Top-Level Domain extensions that support this option and you’ll be able to see this in advance, so that you won’t end up purchasing a service that we cannot provide.
