When you register a domain, you are obliged to give a valid address, email and phone in accordance with the policy adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, though, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS check sites too, so anybody can view your information and a lot of people may not be pleased with that fact. As a result, numerous registrar companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the domain registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the same service. Today, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this service.
