Whois Privacy Protection, sometimes also referred to as WHOIS or Whois Privacy Protection, is a service that hides the real contact information of domain owners on WHOIS check web sites. Without protection, the name, address and email account of any domain name registrant will be openly available. Providing fake information during the domain name registration procedure or altering the authentic details afterwards will just not work, as doing such a thing may result in the domain registrant losing their ownership of the domain. The policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, require that the WHOIS details must be valid and accurate all the time. The Whois Privacy Protection service was launched by registrars as an answer to the increasing concerns about potential identity fraud. If the service is active, the domain name registrar’s contact details will be displayed instead of the domain name registrant’s upon a WHOIS lookup. Most domain names support the Whois Privacy Protection service, although there are certain country-code ones that do not.
