Whois Privacy Protection, sometimes also called Privacy or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that hides the real contact info of domain name registrants on WHOIS web sites. Without protection, the personal name, postal address and email of any domain owner will be openly visible. Giving fake information during the domain name registration procedure or changing the authentic info later will just not work, as doing such a thing may result in the domain name registrant losing their domain name ownership rights. The policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, require that the WHOIS info must be correct and up to date at all times. The Whois Privacy Protection service was introduced by domain registrars as an answer to the rising concerns for potential identity theft. If the protection service is enabled, the domain registrar’s contact info will be shown instead of the domain registrant’s upon a WHOIS check. Most domains support the Whois Privacy Protection service, although there are certain country-code ones that don’t.
