Whois Privacy Protection, at times also called Privacy or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that hides the genuine contact information of domain name registrants on WHOIS websites. Without this service, the name, address and email of any domain name registrant will be publicly visible. Supplying false information during the domain registration process or altering the real info at a later time will just not work, as doing such a thing may result in the domain registrant losing their ownership rights. The policies approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), demand that the WHOIS info must be correct and accurate at all times. The Whois Privacy Protection service was introduced by domain registrars as an answer to the increasing concerns about possible identity theft. If the service is activated, the registrar’s contact info will show up instead of the registrant’s upon a WHOIS check. Most domains support the Whois Privacy Protection service, although there are certain country-code extensions that do not.

Whois Privacy Protection in Shared Website Hosting

Enabling the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain registered with our company is unbelievably easy if you have a shared website hosting. You can do this through the same Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the web hosting account – you’ll simply need to visit the Registered Domains section where all your domain names will be displayed and to click the “Whois Privacy Protection” symbol, which will be available for each gTLD or ccTLD that supports the protection service. This is also the place where you can renew the service or deactivate it completely – in case you want to transfer a particular domain name to another registrar. With our Whois Privacy Protection service, you can hide your personal or business contact details with only a few clicks and stop worrying that your details might be obtained by unauthorized individuals.
