When you register a domain, you have to supply a genuine address, email and telephone number as per the policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, however, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is visible to the public on WHOIS check web sites too, so anybody can view your details and lots of individuals may not be OK with that fact. As a result, plenty of registrar companies 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 view the details of the registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to one and the same service. Currently, 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 option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you order a cloud hosting package from us, you’ll be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names in case their extensions support the service. You can register/transfer a domain and enable Whois Privacy Protection during the signup procedure or you can enable the service for any of your domain names at any moment afterwards through the Hepsia Control Panel. The procedure is extremely easy – once you log in, you’ll have to go to the Registered Domains section where you will find a list of all the domains that you have registered through us. For each one of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will show you if the service is enabled or not. By clicking on it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain, or you can turn off the service if it is currently activated.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

Ordering Whois Privacy Protection for any domain is incredibly easy if you have a semi-dedicated server. If the domain name is registered through our company, it will be displayed in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with each and every semi-dedicated server package. If a particular generic or country-specific domain name is Whois Privacy Protection-eligible, you’ll see a small button next to that domain. To enable the service, you’ll have to click on it. In the exact same manner, you can also renew or disable the service. You can order Whois Privacy Protection for a domain name during the account order procedure too, but since the Whois Privacy Protection service is optional, we will give you the possibility to add it to any of your domain names at a later point in time if you think things over and decide to hide your private info from the general public after you have already ordered the semi-dedicated account.
