When you register a domain, you are obliged to supply a valid address, email and phone in accordance with the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS check web sites as well, so anyone can see your info and some individuals may not be okay with that fact. As a consequence, many registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain registrant’s contact info and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also popular as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the very same service. Today, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this option.
