When you register a domain, you need to supply a genuine home address, email and phone as per the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, however, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is accessible to the general public on WHOIS check websites too, so anyone can view your information and some people may not be satisfied with that fact. As a consequence, plenty of companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain registrant’s info and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also popular as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to the exact same service. At the moment, most of the Top-Level Domains around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that do not support this option.
