When you register a domain name, you are required to supply a genuine street address, email account and telephone in accordance with the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, however, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is available to the public on WHOIS lookup sites as well, so anybody can check your details and some people may not be pleased with this. As a result, lots of companies have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain registrant’s details and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also popular as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to one and the same service. As of now, most of the Top-Level Domains around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support the service.
