When you register a domain, you are obliged to supply an authentic home address, email account and telephone in accordance with the policy approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, however, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is available to the general public on WHOIS websites as well, so anyone can view your information and certain individuals may not be satisfied with that fact. As a consequence, plenty of domain registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain name registrant’s contact details 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 Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the very same service. Now, most of the top-level domain names around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this service.

Activating the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered through our company is stunningly easy if you’ve got a Linux cloud web hosting. You can do this through the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer your hosting account – you’ll simply need to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domains will be displayed and to click on the “Whois Privacy Protection” button, which will be available for each gTLD or ccTLD that supports the Whois Privacy Protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or deactivate it altogether – in case you wish to transfer a particular domain to a different registrar. With the Whois Privacy Protection service, you can conceal your private or business contact info with just a couple of clicks of the mouse and stop worrying that your info might be acquired by unauthorized individuals.
