The WHOIS database contains the listing of all registered domains on the internet. You can do a WHOIS lookup to access various details related to a domain like registration date, expiry date, domain ID, name of registrar, contact information, server name and more. The WHOIS database is available to the public and anyone can access the details of a registered domain. The database is maintained by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and updated regularly. If you create a website, you will also have to register yourself with ICANN.
When you register a domain name, you have to provide personal information such as name, address, phone number and email. The information is stored in the WHOIS database and anyone can find it using a WHOIS domain lookup.
WHOIS Privacy is a privacy service offered by YAJORA to secure the privacy of the domain owners. When you go for WHOIS Privacy, your personal details are masked or replaced with the details of a proxy server to maintain privacy.
