When you register a domain name, you need to give an authentic home address, email account and phone number in accordance with the policy adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS check sites as well, so anyone can view your info and some people may not be delighted with this. As a consequence, plenty of domain registrars have come up with the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the registrant’s information and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar, not the domain owner’s. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the same service. At the moment, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this option.
