When you register a domain name, you need to give an authentic home address, email and telephone as per the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, though, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS check web sites too, so anyone can view your info and lots of people may not be okay with this. As a result, many registrar companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain name registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also popular as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the same service. As of now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

If you’ve ordered a Linux cloud website hosting package from us and you have registered one or more domain names under your account, you’ll be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without any difficulty and to keep your personal data secure. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support such an option. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you will find an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon next to each of your domains. Its color will let you know 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. In this way, you can secure your personal information even if you haven’t enabled the Whois Privacy Protection service during the registration process. You’ll be able to renew or to deactivate 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 will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names by taking a few simple steps. In case you register or transfer a domain during the signup procedure, you can get the service together with the domain name. In case you omit this step and you change your mind later, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you can administer the entire semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register through our company after the signup process. Renewing or deactivating the service is just as simple and will take just a couple of mouse clicks.
