When you register a domain, you are asked to give an authentic postal address, email account and phone number as per the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, though, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS sites as well, so anyone can check your info and a lot of people may not be delighted with that fact. As a consequence, numerous domain name registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s details and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the exact same service. Today, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

You can quickly enable Whois Privacy Protection for any domain name that you have registered through our company in case you’ve got a cloud hosting account with us. This can be achieved through the same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you administer the web hosting account, so you will not have to sign in and out of different user interfaces. In the exact same section where all your active domain names will be listed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for each and every domain whose extension supports the service. The status of this icon will quickly show you if the Whois Privacy Protection service is enabled for a given domain name or not and by clicking that icon you can activate the service if you haven’t done so during the signup process. Besides, you will also be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain using that same icon and the change will take effect instantaneously.
