When you register a domain, you have to provide an authentic street address, email account and telephone as per the policies approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, however, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS check web sites too, so anyone can view your information and many people may not be satisfied with this. As a result, many companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to one and the same service. Nowadays, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

You can easily activate Whois Privacy Protection for any domain that you’ve registered with our company in case you have a cloud web hosting account with us. This can be done through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the web hosting account itself, so you won’t need to switch between different admin dashboards. In the very same section where all your active domain names will be listed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for every domain name whose extension supports this option. The status of each icon will quickly let you know whether the Whois Privacy Protection service is enabled for a given domain name or not and by clicking that icon you can add the service in case you haven’t done so during the account activation process. Furthermore, you will also be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name using the very same icon and the update will take effect instantaneously.
