When you register a domain, you have to supply a genuine address, email account and telephone as per the policy adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS lookup web sites too, so anybody can view your info and some individuals may not be OK with that fact. Consequently, lots of registrar companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain name registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to one and the same service. Nowadays, most of the top-level domain names around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

If you have ordered a cloud website hosting from our company and you have registered one or more domains under your account, you’ll be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without any effort and to keep your private info safe. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support this option. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol next to each of your domain names. Its colour will tell you if a domain name is Whois Privacy Protected or not and in the second case, you can add Whois Privacy Protection with only several mouse clicks. Thus, you can safeguard your personal data even if you haven’t activated the Whois Privacy Protection service during the registration process. You will 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

Enabling Whois Privacy Protection for any domain name is astonishingly easy if you have a semi-dedicated server. As long as the domain name is registered through us, it will be listed in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is included with each and every semi-dedicated server plan. If a given generic or country-specific Top-Level Domain supports Whois Privacy Protection, you will notice a small sign to the right of that domain. To enable the service, you’ll have to click on it. In the exact same fashion, you can also renew or disable the service. You can enable Whois Privacy Protection for a domain during the account order process as well, but since the Whois Privacy Protection service is optional, we’ll give you the chance to add it to any of your domains later in case you think things over and choose to conceal your private details from the public after you’ve already ordered the account.
