When you register a domain, you are obliged to provide an authentic postal address, email and phone in accordance with the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS sites as well, so anyone can check your info and a lot of individuals may not be delighted with this. As a result, numerous domain registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s contact details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the very same service. Nowadays, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Website Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered through us is astonishingly easy in case you’ve got a shared website hosting. You can accomplish this through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the web hosting account – you will just need to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be listed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will be available for each top-level 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 would like to transfer a certain domain to a different domain name registrar. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your personal or business contact info with just several clicks and stop worrying that your details might be obtained by unauthorized persons.

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 effortlessly. This requires just several mouse clicks in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, through which you manage everything associated with your semi-dedicated account. This is the place where you can see all your domains and for each one of them you’ll find an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, using which you can enable, renew or remove the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this will be possible only with generic and country-code top-level domain name extensions that support this option and you will be able to see this beforehand, so you will not end up requesting a service that we cannot provide.
