When you register a domain name, you need to provide an authentic address, email account and phone as per the policy approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is visible to the public on WHOIS check sites as well, so anybody can check your information and certain people may not be delighted with this. Consequently, a lot of registrar companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the registrant’s details and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to one and the same service. Today, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Hosting

You can effortlessly activate Whois Privacy Protection for any domain that you have registered through our company in case you’ve got a hosting account with us. This can be accomplished through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the hosting account itself, so you won’t need to go through different Control Panel tools. In the very same section where all your active domains will be listed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for each and every domain whose extension supports this service. The status of this icon will quickly let you know if the Whois Privacy Protection service is enabled for a particular domain or not and by clicking on that icon you can add the service if you haven’t done so during the account activation process. In addition, you’ll also be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name using that same icon and the change will take effect right away.
