When you register a domain name, you are required to supply a valid home address, email account and phone as per the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, however, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is available to the general public on WHOIS check websites as well, so anyone can view your details and many individuals may not be comfortable with that fact. Consequently, numerous registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain registrant’s information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the domain registrar, 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. Today, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this service.
