In accordance with the policy adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the contact info a domain is registered with must be correct and accurate all the time. What’s more, this information is openly available on WHOIS lookup sites and while this may not be a problem for organizations, it may not be very convenient for individuals, since anybody can see their names and their personal email and home addresses, all the more so in times when identity fraud is not that unusual. That is why domain name registrars have launched a service that conceals the details of their clients without modifying 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 top-level domain name extensions, but it is still impossible to hide your private information with some country-code ones.

Whois Privacy Protection in Hosting

If you get a hosting plan from us, you will be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names as long as their extensions support the service. You can register/transfer a domain name and add Whois Privacy Protection during the account activation process or you can activate the service for any of your domain names at any moment afterwards via the Hepsia Control Panel. The procedure is amazingly easy – once you log in, you’ll need to go to the Registered Domains section where you will notice a list of all the domains that you’ve registered through our company. For each of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will inform you whether the service is activated or not. By clicking on it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain name, or you can disable the service if it is currently activated.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose to order a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names by taking a few simple steps. If you order a registration/transfer during the account order procedure, you can get the service together with the domain. In case you omit this step and you change your mind afterwards, you can activate the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you can manage the whole semi-dedicated account. This is also the place where you can activate Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register through our company after signing up. Renewing or disabling the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as simple and will take only several clicks.
