When you register a domain name, you are requested to supply an authentic home address, email account and telephone number in accordance with the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is visible to the public on WHOIS sites too, so anybody can view your info and certain people may not be OK with that fact. As a result, plenty of companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s contact information and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the very same service. Today, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Web Hosting

If you’ve ordered a shared web hosting plan from us 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 with ease and to keep your private data intact. Of course, this will be possible only with the TLD extensions that support this service. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you will find an “Whois Privacy Protection” button to the right of each of your domains. Its colour will show you if a domain name is Whois Privacy Protected or not and in the second case, you can add Whois Privacy Protection with only several mouse clicks. Thus, you can secure your personal info even if you have not activated the service during the hosting account activation process. You’ll be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domains just as easily.
