When you register a domain, you are obliged to give a genuine postal address, email account and phone number as per the policy approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This info, however, is not kept only by the domain name registrar, but is available to the public on WHOIS check web sites as well, so anybody can view your details and many individuals may not be OK with that fact. As a consequence, numerous companies have launched the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which hides the client’s information and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner. This service is also popular as Privacy Protection or Whois Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to one and the same service. Nowadays, most of the TLDs around the globe allow Whois Privacy Protection to be enabled, but there are still country-specific extensions that don’t support the service.

In the same section where all your registered domains will be displayed, there will be an “Whois Privacy Protection” icon for each and every domain name whose extension supports the service. The status of this icon will quickly show you whether the Whois Privacy Protection service is activated for a certain domain name or not and by clicking on that icon you can add the service in case you have not done so during the account activation procedure. In addition, you will also be able to renew or to disable the Whois Privacy Protection service for any domain name using the same icon and the change will take effect right away.
