When you register a domain, you are required to supply a genuine address, email account and telephone in accordance with the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is visible to the general public on WHOIS check web sites as well, so anyone can see your details and lots of individuals may not be pleased with that fact. As a result, a lot of registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain registrant’s contact information and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. 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 Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this option.
