When you register a domain, you are asked to provide an authentic street address, email account and telephone as per 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 accessible to the general public on WHOIS check sites too, so anybody can check your information and a lot of individuals may not be comfortable with this. As a result, many companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s contact details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the same service. As of now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Web Hosting

You can swiftly activate Whois Privacy Protection for any domain that you have registered through our company if you have a web hosting account with us. This can be accomplished through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the web hosting account itself, so you won’t need to go through different interfaces. In the same section where all your active domain names will be listed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for each and every domain whose extension supports this option. The status of this icon will quickly let you know whether the Whois Privacy Protection service is activated for a given domain or not and by clicking on that icon you can activate the service if you have not done so during the registration process. Additionally, you will also be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name using the very same icon and the update will take effect straight away.
