WHOIS Shield Protection Description

The Whois protection for a domain name, also known as Privacy Protection, is a service provided by almost all ICANN Accredited Registrars.  According to ICANN (Internet Coalition for Assigned Names and Numbers) regulations, all domain names must have a valid entries for the First/Last name, phone number and e-mail address. This information will be available publicly to everyone. This regulation however opens a back door for abusers, spamers, fraudsters, identity thieves to do with that information whatever they see fit since everyone in the world can gain access to that information by doing a WHOIS query. That is where the WHOIS protection comes in play.
