When you register a domain, you are requested to supply a genuine street address, email account and phone as per the policy approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is available to the general public on WHOIS websites too, so anyone can see your info and some individuals may not be comfortable with that fact. Consequently, many registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also popular as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to one and the same service. As of now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you’ve ordered a cloud hosting from us and you have registered one or more domain names under your account, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without effort and to keep your personal details safe. Of course, this will be possible only with the extensions that support this service. In your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” button on the right-hand side of each of your domain names. Its colour will inform you whether a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can activate Whois Privacy Protection with only a few clicks. In this way, you can safeguard your private info even if you have not added the Whois Privacy Protection service during the web hosting account activation process. You will be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domain names just as easily.
