Whois Privacy Protection, at times also referred to as Privacy or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that hides the real contact info of domain registrants on WHOIS check web sites. Without such protection, the personal name, street address and email account of any domain name registrant will be publicly visible. Supplying false information during the registration procedure or altering the authentic info at a later time will simply not work, as doing such a thing may result in the domain registrant losing his/her ownership rights. The policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, demand that the WHOIS information must be valid and accurate at all times. The Whois Privacy Protection service was launched by registrar companies as a response to the rising concerns for possible identity fraud. If the service is enabled, the domain name registrar’s contact information will be listed instead of the domain registrant’s upon a WHOIS lookup. Most domains support the Whois Privacy Protection service, even though there are some country-code extensions that do not.
