When you register a domain name, you need to provide a valid street address, email and telephone number in accordance with the policies approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is available to the general public on WHOIS websites too, so anyone can check your details and many individuals may not be OK with this. As a result, lots of domain registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also popular as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the very same service. Currently, most of the top-level domain names 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 Cloud Website Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name registered through our company is stunningly easy in case you have a Linux cloud website hosting. You can do this through the very same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage your web hosting account – you’ll simply have to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be displayed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” button, which will be available for each domain name that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or deactivate it altogether – in case you would like to transfer a certain domain name to a different registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your private or business contact details with just a couple of clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your information might be acquired by unsolicited individuals.
