Whois Privacy Protection

Whois Privacy Protection is really useful when you would like to protect your private info. Read more about its main advantages.

Whois Privacy Protection, at times also referred to as Privacy or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that conceals the authentic contact information of domain name owners on WHOIS check websites. Without this service, the name, street address and email account of any domain name registrant will be freely accessible. Supplying fake details during the registration process or altering the authentic info subsequently will simply not work, as doing such a thing may result in the registrant losing their ownership of the domain. 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 all the time. The Whois Privacy Protection service was introduced by registrars as a response to the arising concerns about possible 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 some country-code extensions that don’t.
