When you register a domain name, you have to provide a valid postal address, email account and phone number as per the policy adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is available to the public on WHOIS lookup web sites as well, so anyone can check your details and a lot of individuals may not be okay with that fact. As a result, numerous companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s contact information and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also popular as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the same service. Today, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Web Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered through us is extremely easy if you have a Linux web hosting package. You can accomplish this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the web hosting account – you’ll simply have to visit 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 generic or country-code domain that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or disable it altogether – in case you want to transfer a specific domain to some other registrar company. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your personal or business contact info with only a few mouse clicks and stop worrying that your info might be acquired by unauthenticated people.
