When you register a domain name, you are requested to give an authentic postal address, email account and phone as per the policy adopted 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 public on WHOIS websites too, so anybody can check your information and some people may not be comfortable with this. As a result, a lot of registrar companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s info and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois 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 activated, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting

If you get a shared hosting package from our company, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names provided that their extensions support the service. You can register or transfer a domain and enable Whois Privacy Protection during the account activation procedure or you can activate the service for any of your domain names at any moment later through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The process is astonishingly easy – once you sign in, you’ll need to go to the Registered Domains section where you will find a list of all the domains that you’ve registered through us. For each of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will tell you if the service is active or not. By clicking it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain name, or you can deactivate the service if it is currently activated.
