When you register a domain, you have to give an authentic postal address, email and telephone as per the policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is visible to the general public on WHOIS sites too, so anyone can view your information and certain people may not be delighted with this. Consequently, lots of domain name registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the registrant’s details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the exact same service. At the moment, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Ordering Whois Privacy Protection for any domain is really easy in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server. As long as the domain name is registered through us, it will be displayed in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with each and every semi-dedicated package. In case a specific generic or country-specific domain name supports Whois Privacy Protection, you will see a small sign next to that domain. To activate the Whois Privacy Protection service, you will need to click on it. In the very same way, you can also renew or deactivate the service. You can enable Whois Privacy Protection for a domain upon signup as well, but since the Whois Privacy Protection service is optional, we’ll offer you the chance to add it to any of your domain names at a later point in time in case you think things over and choose to conceal your personal info from the public eye after you have already ordered the account.
