When you register a domain name, you are asked to provide an authentic street address, email and telephone as per the policy adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS check websites too, so anyone can view your information and lots of individuals may not be OK with this. As a consequence, numerous registrar companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to one and the same service. Now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this service.
