When you register a domain name, you are obliged to provide a genuine address, email and phone as per the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is visible to the general public on WHOIS web sites too, so anyone can check your info and certain individuals may not be okay with that fact. As a consequence, plenty of companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s contact info and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to one and the same service. Currently, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Website Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered with us is really easy in case you have a Linux website hosting package. You can accomplish this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the web hosting account – you’ll simply need to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be displayed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will be available for each generic or country-code Top-Level Domain that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or deactivate it altogether – if you would like to transfer a certain domain name to some other domain registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your private or corporate contact details with just several mouse clicks and stop worrying that your details might be acquired by unsolicited persons.
