When you register a domain name, you are required to give a valid street address, email and phone as per the policy approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the public on WHOIS websites as well, so anybody can view your details and certain individuals may not be pleased with this. Consequently, lots of registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the exact same service. Today, most of the top-level domain names around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this option.
