When you register a domain, you are required to supply an authentic home address, email and phone as per the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is available to the general public on WHOIS check web sites too, so anyone can check your info and some people may not be okay with that fact. As a consequence, a lot of registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the registrant’s details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to one and the same service. Nowadays, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Website Hosting

You can effortlessly activate Whois Privacy Protection for any domain that you have registered through our company in case you have a cloud website hosting account with us. This can be done through the very same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you administer the hosting account itself, so you won’t have to go through different Control Panels. In the very same section where all your registered domains will be displayed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for every domain whose extension supports this service. The status of each icon will quickly show you if the Whois Privacy Protection service is activated for a particular domain name or not and by clicking on that icon you can enable the service in case you haven’t done so upon signup. Besides, you will also be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name using that same icon and the change will take effect momentarily.
