Whois Privacy Protection, at times also called WHOIS or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that hides the authentic contact info of domain name owners on WHOIS web sites. Without protection, the personal name, street address and email of any domain registrant will be freely accessible. Giving fake information during the registration procedure or changing the authentic info subsequently will simply not work, as doing such a thing may result in the domain name registrant losing their ownership of the domain. The policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, demand that the WHOIS information must be correct and up to date at all times. The Whois Privacy Protection service was launched by domain name registrars as a response to the growing concerns for possible identity theft. If the protection service is enabled, the registrar’s contact details will show up instead of the domain name registrant’s upon a WHOIS lookup. Most domain names support the Whois Privacy Protection service, although there are some country-code extensions that don’t.
