When you register a domain, you have to provide a valid postal address, email account and telephone as per the policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is available to the general public on WHOIS sites too, so anyone can see your information and lots of people may not be okay with that fact. Consequently, plenty of companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the domain name registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will view the details of the registrar company, not those of the domain owner. This service is also popular as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these expressions refer to one and the same service. As of now, most of the top-level domain names around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support the service.
