When you register a domain, you need to provide an authentic postal address, email account and phone number as per the policies 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 general public on WHOIS check web sites as well, so anybody can check your information and lots of individuals may not be okay with this. As a result, plenty of domain registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also popular as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the exact same service. Now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered with us is exceptionally easy if you have a hosting. You can accomplish this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the web hosting account – you will just have to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be displayed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” button, which will be available for each generic or country-code Top-Level Domain that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or deactivate it altogether – if you want to transfer a certain domain name to some other domain name registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your personal or business contact information with only a few clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your information might be obtained by unauthenticated persons.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names in several easy steps. In case you register or transfer a domain name during the account order process, you can get the service along with the domain name.

This is also the place where you can turn on the Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register through us after signup. Renewing or removing the service is just as easy and will take no more than a few clicks.
