When you register a domain name, you are required to give an authentic home address, email account and phone as per the policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, however, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is available to the general public on WHOIS check web sites as well, so anyone can check your info and certain individuals may not be comfortable with that fact. As a result, a lot of registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain registrant’s information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the exact same service. As of 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 Cloud Web Hosting

If you have ordered a cloud web hosting plan from our company and you have registered one or more domain names under your account, you will be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of them effortlessly and to keep your personal information secure. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support this option. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll find an “Whois Privacy Protection” button to the right of each of your domains. Its color will let you know whether a domain name is Whois Privacy Protected or not and in the second case, you can add Whois Privacy Protection with only a few clicks of the mouse. Thus, you can shield your private data even if you haven’t activated the Whois Privacy Protection service during the web hosting account activation process. 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 Servers

Enabling Whois Privacy Protection for any domain name is astonishingly easy if you have a semi-dedicated server. If the domain is registered through us, it will be listed in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is included with each semi-dedicated server package. If a given generic or country-specific top-level domain name supports Whois Privacy Protection, you will notice a small sign to the right of that domain. To enable the Whois Privacy Protection service, you’ll need to click on it. In the exact same fashion, you can also renew or remove the service. You can enable Whois Privacy Protection for a domain upon signup too, but since the Whois Privacy Protection service is optional, we’ll offer you the chance to add it to any of your domain names at a later time if you change your mind and choose to hide your personal information from the public eye after you have already ordered the semi-dedicated account.
