When you register a domain name, you have to give a valid home address, email account and phone number as per the policy adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, though, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is visible to the public on WHOIS lookup web sites as well, so anyone can see your info and a lot of individuals may not be happy with that fact. As a result, numerous registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the exact same service. Nowadays, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting

If you have ordered a shared hosting from our company and you have registered one or more domains under your account, you’ll be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them easily and to keep your private info intact. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support this option. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you will find an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo on the right-hand side of each of your domains. Its color will let you know whether a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can enable Whois Privacy Protection with just a few clicks of the mouse. In this way, you can shield your private information even if you have not added the Whois Privacy Protection service during the registration process. You will be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domain names just as easily.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you register a domain name under it, you can add our Whois Privacy Protection service easily. This takes only a few clicks of the mouse in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer everything related to your semi-dedicated hosting account. This is where you can see all your active domain names and for each of them you will find an “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol, using which you can order, renew or disable the service. Of course, this can be done only with generic and country-code domain extensions that are Whois Privacy Protection-eligible and you will be able to see this beforehand, so you won’t end up buying a service that we can’t provide.
