Every active domain is registered on the name of a person and throughout the registration procedure many details are submitted - the owner’s names, address, e-mail, phone number, and many others. This information combined with the registrar company name and the registration/expiration dates is referred to as WHOIS of the domain name and in agreement with the policies of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) it needs to be current and correct. If a domain name has incorrect WHOIS details, it might be reported and if the details aren't corrected, the Internet domain can be erased or the registrar company may take over its ownership. By default, the WHOIS details are public and can be seen on a lot of lookup websites, or for a smaller number of country-code extensions - on the websites of the respective Registry companies. All companies which offer registration services are obligated to provide an uncomplicated way for their clients to access and change the WHOIS details of any domain address they own as much as the specific TLD allows it.
