When you register a domain, you are requested to provide an authentic street address, email account and telephone number in accordance with the policy approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is available to the public on WHOIS sites as well, so anyone can see your information and many people may not be pleased with that fact. As a result, many companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the domain registrant’s contact details and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these terms refer to the very same service. Nowadays, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-code extensions that don’t support this service.
