When you register a domain name, you are required to give a valid street address, email account and phone number in accordance with 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 accessible to the public on WHOIS websites too, so anyone can view your details and some people may not be comfortable with this. As a result, lots of registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain registrant’s information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the very same service. As of now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this option.

If you get a cloud website hosting plan from our company, you’ll be able to enable Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domains in case their extensions support this service. You can register or transfer a domain name and add Whois Privacy Protection upon signup or you can enable the service for any of your domains at any time later via the Hepsia Control Panel. The procedure is stunningly easy – after you sign in, you’ll need to go to the Registered Domains section where you will notice a list of all the domain names that you have registered through our company. For each one of them you will notice an “Whois Privacy Protection” logo, which will show you if the service is activated or not. By clicking it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain, or you can disable the service if it is currently activated.
