In accordance with the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the contact information a domain name is registered with must be valid and accurate all the time. In addition, this info is publicly visible on WHOIS websites and while this may not be a problem for organizations, it may not be very acceptable for individuals, since anyone can see their names and their personal street and email addresses, particularly in times when identity fraud is not that atypical. For this reason, domain registrars have launched a service that conceals the details of their clients without changing them. The service is called Whois Privacy Protection. In case it is active, people will view the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner, if they make a WHOIS inquiry. The Whois Privacy Protection service is supported by all generic domain extensions, but it is still not possible to conceal your personal info with certain country-code ones.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered with us is incredibly easy if you have a shared package. You can accomplish this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the web hosting account – you’ll simply need to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be listed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” sign, which will be available for each domain name that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or disable it completely – in case you wish to transfer a certain domain to a different registrar company. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your personal or corporate contact information with only a couple of clicks and stop worrying that your info might be acquired by unauthorized people.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server package from us, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names by taking a few simple steps. In case you register or transfer a domain name during the account activation process, you can get the service along with the domain name. If you skip this step and you change your mind at a later time, you can add the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, through which you can administer the whole semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can turn on the Whois Privacy Protection for all other domains that you register with our company after signing up. Renewing or removing the service is just as simple and will require only several clicks of the mouse.
