When you register a domain name, you are asked to provide a genuine home address, email account and phone in accordance with the policy adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is available to the general public on WHOIS websites too, so anyone can see your information and some people may not be comfortable with this. As a consequence, lots of companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the registrant’s contact information and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the same service. As of now, most of the top-level domain names around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Web Hosting

If you order a web hosting package from our company, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domains as long as their extensions support the service. You can register or transfer a domain and enable Whois Privacy Protection during the registration process or you can activate the service for any of your domain names at any time later via the Hepsia Control Panel. The procedure is astonishingly easy – after you sign in, you’ll have to go to the Registered Domains section where you will see a list of all the domains that you have registered with us. For each of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, which will let you know if the service is activated or not. By clicking it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain, or you can turn off the service if it is currently active.
