When you register a domain name, you need to give an authentic postal address, email and phone number in accordance with the policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is visible to the general public on WHOIS check web sites too, so anyone can view your info and a lot of individuals may not be comfortable with this. As a result, lots of registrar companies have come up with 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 popular as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to one and the same service. Now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered through us is amazingly easy if you have a Linux cloud website hosting. You can achieve this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the web hosting account – you’ll simply have to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be listed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, which will be available for each generic or country-code TLD that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or deactivate it altogether – in case you’d like to transfer a given domain to another registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your personal or business contact information with just several clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your info might be obtained by unsolicited people.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you would like to conceal the contact information associated with your domain and you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you’ll be able to enable our Whois Privacy Protection service either during the account order process or at any moment later through our Hepsia Control Panel. The service is optional and can be added with several clicks from the Control Panel’s Registered Domains section where all the domains that you have registered through us will be listed in alphabetical order. You can enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of the domain name extensions that support the service by simply clicking the “Whois Privacy Protection” icon next to each domain name. In the very same fashion, you can also renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or shut it off – in case you want to transfer a domain to another company and you need the actual mailbox associated with the domain name to be visible.
