When you register a domain, you are obliged to supply an authentic street address, email and telephone 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 sites too, so anybody can see your info and a lot of people may not be delighted with that fact. As a result, many registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s contact information and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also popular 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 world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support the service.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Hosting

If you have ordered a shared hosting from our company and you have registered one or more domains under your account, you will be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of them easily and to keep your private details secure. Of course, this will be possible only with the TLD extensions that support such an option. In your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will see an “Whois Privacy Protection” sign to the right of each of your domains. Its colour will let you know whether a domain is protected or not and in the second case, you can enable Whois Privacy Protection with only a few mouse clicks. In this way, you can secure your private details even if you haven’t added the service during the signup procedure. You’ll be able to renew or to deactivate the Whois Privacy Protection service for any of your domain names just as easily.
