In accordance with the policy adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the contact information a domain name is registered with must be correct and accurate at all times. Additionally, this information is openly accessible on WHOIS lookup websites and while this may not be a problem for companies, it may not be very convenient for individuals, because everybody can see their names and their personal email and postal addresses, especially in an age when identity fraud isn’t that uncommon. That’s the reason why domain registrars have come up with a service that conceals the details of their customers without modifying them. The service is referred to as Whois Privacy Protection. In case it’s activated, people will view the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner, if they do a WHOIS search. The Whois Privacy Protection service is supported by all generic domain name extensions, but it’s still impossible to hide your private info with certain country-code ones.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Web Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered with our company is remarkably easy if you’ve got a shared web hosting. You can accomplish this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer your web hosting account – you will just need to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be displayed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will be available for each TLD that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or deactivate it completely – in case you want to transfer a given domain name to some other registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your private or corporate contact info with just a couple of mouse clicks and stop worrying that your details might be obtained by unauthenticated people.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names in a few easy steps. In case you register or transfer a domain name during the account activation procedure, you can get the service along with the domain. In case you omit this step and you change your mind afterwards, you can order the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you can manage the entire semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can enable Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register with our company after signing up. Renewing or disabling the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as simple and will take only a couple of clicks of the mouse.
