When you register a domain, you are asked to supply a valid street address, email and phone number as per the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, however, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is visible to the general public on WHOIS check web sites as well, so anybody can check your info and a lot of individuals may not be okay with that fact. As a consequence, plenty of registrar companies have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s contact info 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 the exact same service. As of now, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this option.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting

If you’ve ordered a Linux shared hosting from our company and you’ve registered one or more domain names under your account, you will be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of them without effort and to keep your private information secure. Of course, this can be done only with the extensions that support such a service. In your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll notice an “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol to the right of each of your domain names. Its color will show you whether a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can add Whois Privacy Protection with only a few mouse clicks. Thus, you can shield your private information even if you have not enabled the Whois Privacy Protection service during the registration process. You’ll be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domain names just as easily.
