When you register a domain, you are required to provide a valid postal address, email and telephone as per the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, though, 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 info and lots of people may not be delighted with this. As a result, plenty of companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s contact information and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also popular as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the same service. Now, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered through us is remarkably easy if you’ve got a Linux shared hosting service. You can do this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer your hosting account – you’ll just have to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be displayed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” button, which will be available for each gTLD or ccTLD that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or disable it completely – if you wish to transfer a specific domain to some other domain name registrar. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your private or corporate contact info with only a couple of mouse clicks and stop worrying that your information might be acquired by unsolicited people.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server package from us, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains by following several simple steps. If you register or transfer a domain name during the account order process, you can get the service together with the domain name. If you omit this step and you think things over at a later time, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you can administer the whole semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can turn on the Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register through our company after the signup process. Renewing or removing the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as simple and will require just several clicks.
