In accordance with the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the contact information a domain is registered with must be correct and accurate all the time. Moreover, this information is freely accessible on WHOIS lookup sites and while this may be okay for corporations, it may not be very acceptable for individuals, because anyone can view their names and their personal home and email addresses, especially in an age when identity fraud isn’t that infrequent. This is the reason why domain registrars have launched a service that hides the details of their clients without changing them. The service is referred to as Whois Privacy Protection. If it’s active, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s, if they make a WHOIS search. The Whois Privacy Protection service is supported by all generic domain extensions, but it is still not possible to conceal your private info with certain country-code extensions.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered through our company is surprisingly easy if you have a cloud hosting. You can achieve this through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the web hosting account – you will just have to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be displayed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol, which will be available for each domain that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or deactivate it altogether – if you wish to transfer a specific domain name to some other company. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your private or corporate contact information with just a few clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your details might be acquired by unauthorized persons.

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 by taking a few simple steps. If you order a registration or a transfer during the signup process, you can get the service together with the domain name. If you omit this step and you think things over later, you can enable the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, through which you can manage the whole semi-dedicated 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 the signup process. Renewing or deactivating the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as simple and will take no more than a few mouse clicks.
