When you register a domain, you have to provide an authentic postal address, email account and telephone as per the policies approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS check sites as well, so anyone can check your details and many people may not be comfortable with that fact. Consequently, lots of registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s details and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the exact same service. Now, 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 this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Web Hosting

You can effortlessly enable Whois Privacy Protection for any domain that you’ve registered through our company if you have a shared web hosting account with us. This can be done through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the hosting account, so you will not have to use different Control Panels. In the same section where all your active domains will be listed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for each domain whose extension supports this service. The status of each icon will quickly show you whether the Whois Privacy Protection service is activated for a certain domain or not and by clicking on that icon you can add the service if you have not done so during the signup process. Furthermore, you will also be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain using the exact same icon and the update will take effect immediately.

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 without any difficulty. This takes just a couple of clicks of the mouse in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, through which you administer everything related to your account. This is where you can see all your registered domains and for each one of them you will find an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, using which you can order, renew or remove the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this can be done only with generic and country-code domain extensions that are Whois Privacy Protection-eligible and you’ll be able to see this in advance, so you will not end up buying a service that we cannot provide.
