When you register a domain name, you are requested to provide a valid home address, email account and telephone as per the policies adopted 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 public on WHOIS check web sites too, so anybody can see your information and some individuals may not be comfortable with this. As a consequence, lots of domain registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the registrant’s contact info and upon a WHOIS check, people will view 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 terms refer to one and the same service. At the moment, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this service.
