When you register a domain name, you are required to give a genuine street address, email account and telephone number in accordance with the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is visible to the general public on WHOIS check web sites as well, so anybody can check your details and certain individuals may not be pleased with this. As a consequence, numerous domain name registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also popular as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the very same service. Today, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this option.
