In accordance with the policies adopted by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the contact info a domain is registered with must be valid and up to date at all times. Plus, this info is openly accessible on WHOIS lookup web sites and while this may be OK for organizations, it may not be very convenient for individuals, because anybody can view their names and their personal email and street addresses, particularly in times when identity theft isn’t that rare. This is the reason why registrar companies have introduced a service that conceals the details of their clients without editing them. The service is referred to as Whois Privacy Protection. If it’s enabled, people will see the details of the domain registrar, not those of the domain owner, if they make a WHOIS inquiry. The Whois Privacy Protection service is supported by all generic domain name extensions, but it is still impossible to conceal your info with some country-code extensions.
