When you register a domain name, you are requested to provide an authentic home address, email account and phone in accordance with the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS check websites as well, so anyone can view your information and some individuals may not be okay with that fact. Consequently, plenty of domain registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to one and the same service. Currently, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you’ve ordered a Linux cloud package from our company and you’ve registered one or more domain names under your account, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without any effort and to keep your private information safe. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support such an option. In your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll see an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo on the right-hand side of each of your domains. Its color will inform you if a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can enable Whois Privacy Protection with only a few clicks of the mouse. Thus, you can shield your private data even if you haven’t enabled the Whois Privacy Protection service during the web hosting account order process. You’ll be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domains just as easily.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains by completing a few easy steps. In case you order a registration or a transfer during the signup process, you can get the service along with the domain. In case you skip this step and you change your mind at a later point in time, you can order the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you can manage the entire semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can activate Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register through our company after signup. Renewing or disabling the service is just as easy and will take no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse.
