When you register a domain name, you have to supply a valid street address, email and telephone number as per the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, however, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS lookup web sites too, so anybody can check your information and a lot of individuals may not be satisfied with this. Consequently, plenty of domain registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s contact information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see 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 terms refer to the same service. Nowadays, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Website Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered through our company is amazingly easy if you have a shared website hosting plan. You can achieve this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage your hosting account – you will only need to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be listed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, which will be available for each generic or country-code domain name that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or deactivate it altogether – if you’d like to transfer a given domain name to a different company. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your personal or business contact info with only a few clicks and stop worrying that your info might be acquired by unsolicited individuals.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you want to conceal the contact details for your domain name and you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to enable our Whois Privacy Protection service either during the registration process or at any time afterwards through your Hepsia Control Panel. This service is optional and can be added with several clicks from the Control Panel’s Registered Domains section where all the domain names that you’ve registered with us will be displayed alphabetically. You can enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of the TLD extensions that support this service by simply clicking the “Whois Privacy Protection” logo on the right-hand side of each domain name. In the very same manner, you can also renew the service or turn it off – if you want to transfer a domain name to another domain registrar and you need the real mailbox associated with the domain name to be visible.
