Whois Privacy Protection, sometimes also called Privacy or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that conceals the authentic contact information of domain owners on WHOIS lookup websites. Without such protection, the name, address and email of any domain registrant will be freely available. Supplying fake details during the domain registration procedure or changing the real information at a later time will just not work, as doing such a thing may result in the domain name registrant losing his/her ownership of the domain. The policies adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), require that the WHOIS info must be correct and accurate at all times. The Whois Privacy Protection service was introduced by domain registrars as an answer to the growing concerns about potential identity fraud. If the protection service is activated, the registrar’s contact information will be displayed instead of the domain registrant’s upon a WHOIS check. Most domain names support the Whois Privacy Protection service, although there are certain country-code extensions that do not.
