When you register a domain, you need to give a genuine street address, email and telephone number as per the policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS websites too, so anybody can see your information and certain individuals may not be satisfied with that fact. As a result, many registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also popular as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the same service. Today, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you have ordered a Linux cloud hosting from us and you have registered one or more domains under your account, you’ll be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without any effort and to keep your private details secure. Of course, this can be done only with the TLD extensions that support such a service. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you will find an “Whois Privacy Protection” button on the right-hand side of each of your domains. Its colour will show you if a domain is Whois Privacy Protected or not and in the second case, you can enable Whois Privacy Protection with just a couple of mouse clicks. Thus, you can protect your private data even if you haven’t added the service during the web hosting account activation procedure. You will 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 Hosting

If you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you register a domain under it, you can enable our Whois Privacy Protection service without any effort. This requires just several clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you administer everything related to your semi-dedicated hosting account. This is the place where you can see all your domain names and for each of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol, using which you can order, renew or deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service. Of course, this can be done only with gTLD and ccTLD extensions that are Whois Privacy Protection-eligible and you will be able to see this beforehand, so that you won’t end up requesting a service that we cannot provide.
