In accordance with the policy approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the contact information a domain is registered with must be correct and up to date all the time. Furthermore, this info is openly accessible on WHOIS websites and while this may be OK for corporations, it may not be very convenient for individuals, because anyone can see their names and their personal email and street addresses, particularly in an age when identity theft isn’t that atypical. This is the reason why domain registrars have introduced a service that conceals the details of their customers without altering them. The service is called Whois Privacy Protection. In case it is enabled, people will view the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s, if they perform a WHOIS search. The Whois Privacy Protection service is supported by all generic Top-Level Domain extensions, but it’s still impossible to hide your personal information with certain country-code ones.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

If you have ordered a cloud website hosting service from our company and you have registered one or more domain names under your account, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without effort and to keep your private data secure. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support this option. In your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will find an “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol next to each of your domain names. Its colour will inform you whether a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can enable Whois Privacy Protection with only several clicks. In this way, you can protect your private information even if you haven’t added the service during the hosting account order process. You’ll 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 Servers

If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains by completing several easy steps. If you register or transfer a domain during the account activation process, you can get the service together with the domain. In case you omit this step and you think things over at a later time, you can activate the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you can administer the whole semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register through us after signing up. Renewing or deactivating the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as simple and will require just several clicks of the mouse.
