When you register a domain, you have to give a valid postal address, email and telephone number as per the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, however, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is visible to the public on WHOIS check web sites as well, so anybody can view your info and some individuals may not be pleased with that fact. As a result, many companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also popular as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions 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 the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

You can quickly activate Whois Privacy Protection for any domain that you’ve registered through our company in case you have a cloud website hosting account with us. This can be accomplished through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the web hosting account, so you will not have to switch between different Control Panel tools. In the exact same section where all your active domain names will be displayed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for each domain name whose extension supports this option. The status of this icon will quickly show you if the Whois Privacy Protection service is enabled for a particular domain or not and by clicking on that icon you can enable the service if you haven’t done so upon registration. What’s more, you will also be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name using the exact same icon and the update will take effect instantaneously.
