When you register a domain, you are obliged to provide a valid street address, email and telephone in accordance with the policy adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS sites as well, so anyone can view your info and some people may not be pleased with that fact. As a consequence, many companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’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 called Privacy Protection or Whois 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 do not support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you’ve ordered a Linux cloud hosting service from us and you have registered one or more domains under your account, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without any difficulty and to keep your personal data intact. Of course, this will be possible only with the TLD extensions that support such an option. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll find an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon on the right-hand side of each of your domains. Its color will let you know if a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can add Whois Privacy Protection with just several clicks of the mouse. In this way, you can protect your private details even if you have not added the Whois Privacy Protection service during the signup procedure. You’ll 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 decide to order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains in a couple of simple steps. In case you order a registration/transfer during the account activation process, you can get the service along with the domain name. In case you skip this step and you think things over at a later time, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you can administer the entire semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can turn on the Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register through us after signing up. Renewing or deactivating the service is just as simple and will take no more than a few clicks.
