Domain Privacy and Protection (WHOIS Privacy) is an important part of your website's security. If you own a domain, then you likely have a WHOIS record associated with it. A WHOIS record is a public database that lists your contact information, including your name, address, phone number and email address along with the information about your domain name. This is critical information for anyone who wants to send you spam or conduct other malicious activity. The Domain Privacy and Protection (WHOIS Privacy) service allows you to keep your personal contact information private while still maintaining full ownership of your domain name(s). As long as you keep renewing the service, nobody will be able to see your contact details through this database.
