When you register a domain name, you are requested to provide an authentic home address, email account and telephone number 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 accessible to the public on WHOIS check sites too, so anybody can check your info and certain individuals may not be pleased with that fact. As a consequence, lots of registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain registrant’s details and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner’s. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the very same service. As of now, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support the service.
