When you register a domain, you have to give a genuine postal address, email account and telephone number as per the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is visible to the public on WHOIS lookup sites too, so anybody can see your details and certain individuals may not be pleased with that fact. As a result, plenty of registrar companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the same service. Now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting package from us, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domains on the condition that their extensions support this option. You can register or transfer a domain and enable Whois Privacy Protection during the signup procedure or you can enable the service for any of your domains at any moment later via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The process is really easy – once you log in, you will have to visit the Registered Domains section where you will find a list of all the domains that you’ve registered with our company. For each of them you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will show you whether the service is activated or not. By clicking it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain name, or you can disable the service if it is currently active.
