When you register a domain, you are asked to supply an authentic postal address, email and phone number in accordance with the policy approved 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 websites as well, so anybody can view your info and many individuals may not be happy with that fact. As a result, a lot of registrar companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain name registrant’s contact details 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 very same service. Today, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this service.
Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting
If you have ordered a shared service from us and you’ve registered one or more domains under your account, you will be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of them effortlessly and to keep your personal information intact. Of course, this can be done only with the TLD extensions that support such a service. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol next to each of your domain names. Its color will show you if a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can activate Whois Privacy Protection with only a couple of mouse clicks. Thus, you can protect your personal information even if you have not enabled the Whois Privacy Protection service upon signup. 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 Hosting
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 by taking a few simple steps. In case you order a registration/transfer during the account activation process, you can get the service together with the domain. In case you omit this step and you change your mind afterwards, you can activate the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you can administer the entire semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register through us after signup. Renewing or disabling the service is just as easy and will take just several mouse clicks.
