When you register a domain name, you are obliged to give a valid address, email account and telephone as per the policy adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS check web sites too, so anyone can check your information and a lot of individuals may not be pleased with that fact. As a result, numerous companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s contact information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the same service. Now, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support the service.
