When you register a domain, you are requested to supply a valid street address, email and phone number as per the policy approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the domain registrar, but is available to the general public on WHOIS sites as well, so anybody can check your details and lots of individuals may not be comfortable with this. Consequently, numerous domain registrars have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the client’s contact details and upon a WHOIS check, people will view the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also called Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to the same service. Today, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be activated, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this option.
