When you register a domain, you are asked to supply a valid home address, email and telephone as per the policy adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, though, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is available to the public on WHOIS web sites too, so anybody can view your details and some individuals may not be comfortable with that fact. As a consequence, many domain registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s information and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also popular as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to one and the same service. As of now, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Website Hosting

You can swiftly activate Whois Privacy Protection for any domain that you have registered with our company if you have a shared website hosting account with us. This can be achieved through the exact same Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you manage the web hosting account itself, so you won’t have to use different systems. In the exact same section where all your active domain names will be displayed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for each and every domain whose extension supports the service. The status of this icon will quickly show you if the Whois Privacy Protection service is activated for a specific domain name or not and by clicking that icon you can add the service if you have not done so during the account activation procedure. Additionally, you will also be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain using the very same icon and the update will take effect instantly.
