Whois Privacy Protection, sometimes also referred to as Privacy or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that hides the genuine contact info of domain registrants on WHOIS websites. Without protection, the name, postal address and email account of any domain name owner will be publicly available. Providing false info during the domain name registration procedure or changing the authentic details afterwards will simply not work, as doing such a thing may result in the domain name registrant losing their domain name ownership rights. The policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, demand that the WHOIS details must be valid and accurate all the time. The Whois Privacy Protection service was introduced by registrars as an answer to the rising concerns for possible identity fraud. If the service is enabled, the registrar’s contact details will show up instead of the client’s upon a WHOIS check. Most domains support the Whois Privacy Protection service, even though there are some country-code ones that don’t.

Whois Privacy Protection in Hosting

If you’ve ordered a hosting from our company and you’ve registered one or more domains under your account, you will be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without any effort and to keep your personal information intact. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support such an option. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon next to each of your domain names. Its colour will show you whether a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can add Whois Privacy Protection with just several clicks. Thus, you can safeguard your private info even if you have not enabled the service during the web hosting account activation process. You’ll be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domains just as easily.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you’ll be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domains in a few easy steps. In case you order a registration/transfer during the account activation procedure, you can get the service together with the domain name. If you omit this step and you think things over afterwards, you can enable the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Registered Domains section, via which you can manage the entire semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can turn on the Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register with our company after signup. Renewing or disabling the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as simple and will require just a couple of mouse clicks.
