When you register a domain, you have to give a valid home address, email and telephone in accordance with the policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is visible to the general public on WHOIS lookup websites as well, so anybody can view your information and lots of people may not be okay with this. Consequently, plenty of domain name registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the very same service. At the moment, most of the top-level domain names around the globe 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 get a website hosting package from us, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domains if their extensions support this service. You can register or transfer a domain and enable Whois Privacy Protection during the registration procedure or you can enable the service for any of your domains at any moment afterwards through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The procedure is extremely easy – once you sign in, you’ll have to go to the Registered Domains section where you will find a list of all the domains that you’ve registered with our company. For each of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will inform you whether the service is activated or not. By clicking on it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain, or you can disable the service if it is currently activated.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us and you register a domain name under it, you can enable our Whois Privacy Protection service with ease. This takes only several clicks of the mouse in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you administer everything related to your semi-dedicated account. This is where you can see all your registered domains and for each one of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” button, using which you can order, renew or disable the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this can be done only with generic and country-code domain extensions that support this option and you will be able to see this in advance, so you will not end up paying for a service that we cannot provide.
