When you register a domain name, you need to give a genuine postal address, email account and phone as per the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, though, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is available to the public on WHOIS check web sites as well, so anybody can see your information and certain people may not be pleased with that fact. As a consequence, lots of registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s contact information and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also popular as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the same service. Nowadays, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Website Hosting

You can easily activate Whois Privacy Protection for any domain that you have registered with our company in case you have a website hosting account with us. This can be accomplished through the same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you manage the hosting account itself, so you won’t have to use different platforms. In the exact same section where all your active domains will be listed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for each and every domain name whose extension supports this option. The status of that icon will quickly show you whether the Whois Privacy Protection service is activated for a certain domain name or not and by clicking on that icon you can activate the service if you haven’t done so during the registration procedure. Furthermore, you will also be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain using that same icon and the change will take effect momentarily.
