When you register a domain name, you need to provide a genuine home address, email and phone number in accordance with the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, however, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is available to the public on WHOIS sites too, so anyone can check your information and many people may not be pleased with that fact. As a consequence, lots of companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s contact info 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 Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the very same service. As of now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Website Hosting

If you have ordered a website hosting plan from our company 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 effort and to keep your private data secure. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support such an option. In your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will find an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo next to each of your domain names. Its color will show you whether a domain name is Whois Privacy Protected or not and in the second case, you can add Whois Privacy Protection with only a few mouse clicks. In this way, you can protect your private details even if you have not enabled the service during the registration process. You’ll be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domains just as easily.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you would like to hide the contact info associated with your domain name and you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you’ll be able to activate our Whois Privacy Protection service either during the registration process or at any moment later through your Hepsia Control Panel. The service is optional and can be activated with a few clicks of the mouse from the Control Panel’s Registered Domains section where all the domain names that you have registered with us will be displayed alphabetically. You can activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of the top-level domain name extensions that support this service by simply clicking the “Whois Privacy Protection” button next to each domain name. In the exact same manner, you can also renew the service or remove it – if you would like to transfer a domain name to some other registrar company and you need the real email account associated with the domain to be visible.
