When you register a domain, you need to give a valid address, email account 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 company, but is available to the general public on WHOIS check web sites as well, so anybody can see your info and many individuals may not be happy with this. As a consequence, a lot of domain name registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain name registrant’s contact information and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the very same service. At the moment, most of the TLDs around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support the service.
