When you register a domain, you are requested to provide an authentic address, email account and telephone number in accordance with the policy adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS check websites as well, so anybody can view your information and lots of individuals may not be happy with that fact. Consequently, a lot of companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s contact details and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the very same service. Now, most of the top-level domain names around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

If you’ve ordered a cloud web hosting service from our company and you have registered one or more domain names under your account, you’ll be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of them effortlessly and to keep your private information secure. Of course, this can be done only with the extensions that support such an option. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll see an “Whois Privacy Protection” button next to each of your domains. Its colour will inform you if a domain is Whois Privacy Protected or not and in the second case, you can add Whois Privacy Protection with only several clicks of the mouse. Thus, you can safeguard your private information even if you haven’t activated the Whois Privacy Protection service during the web hosting account order procedure. 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 Servers

Ordering Whois Privacy Protection for any domain name is amazingly easy if you’ve got a semi-dedicated server. As long as the domain name is registered with our company, it will be listed in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with every semi-dedicated server plan. In case a given generic or country-specific top-level domain name is Whois Privacy Protection-eligible, you’ll see a tiny sign on its right. To enable the service, you’ll have to click on it. In the same manner, you can also renew or deactivate the service. You can order Whois Privacy Protection for a domain name during the registration process as well, but since the Whois Privacy Protection service is optional, we will give you the opportunity to add it to any of your domain names at a later time if you change your mind and decide to conceal your personal info from the public after you’ve already created the semi-dedicated account.
