When you register a domain name, you need to give a valid postal address, email and telephone number as per the policies approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This info, though, is not kept only by the registrar, but is visible to the public on WHOIS check sites as well, so anybody can view your info and certain individuals may not be happy with that fact. As a result, lots of registrar companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s contact details and upon a WHOIS lookup, people will see the details of the registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also known as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to one and the same service. Currently, 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.
