When you register a domain, you need to provide a valid street address, email and phone number in accordance with the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS lookup websites too, so anybody can view your info and some people may not be comfortable with this. Consequently, plenty of domain name registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain registrant’s contact information and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to one and the same service. Now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Website Hosting

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered through our company is really easy in case you have a shared website hosting. You can achieve this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage the hosting account – you’ll only have to go to the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be displayed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” icon, which will be available for each top-level domain name that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the Whois Privacy Protection service or disable it altogether – in case you’d like to transfer a given domain to some other domain name registrar. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your private or business contact information with just a few mouse clicks and stop worrying that your info might be obtained by unauthorized persons.
