When you register a domain name, you are obliged to give an authentic postal address, email and telephone as per the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, however, is not kept only by the registrar, but is visible to the general public on WHOIS lookup sites too, so anyone can check your information and a lot of people may not be satisfied with this. Consequently, plenty of domain registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s info and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the domain 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 one and the same service. Currently, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support this service.
