When you register a domain, you have to give a genuine address, email and telephone as per the policy approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is visible to the public on WHOIS lookup sites too, so anybody can view your info and some individuals may not be satisfied with this. As a result, many domain name registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS lookup, 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 names refer to the same service. At the moment, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered through our company is exceptionally easy if you’ve got a shared hosting service. You can achieve this through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer your hosting account – you will simply have to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be displayed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will be available for each Top-Level Domain that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or disable it completely – in case you wish to transfer a certain domain to some other company. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your private or business contact details with only several clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your information might be acquired by unsolicited individuals.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you register a domain name under it, you can enable our Whois Privacy Protection service easily. This requires just several clicks of the mouse in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, through which you manage everything associated with your account. This is the place where you can see all your active domain names and for each of them you’ll find an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, using which you can enable, renew or disable the service. Of course, this will be possible only with generic and country-code top-level domain name extensions that support this option and you will be able to see this beforehand, so that you will not end up ordering a service that we cannot provide.
