Each and every active domain name is registered on the name of a person and during the registration procedure a lot of details are submitted - the owner’s names, address, email, contact number, and many others. This info plus the registrar company name and the registration/expiration dates is addressed as WHOIS of the Internet domain and in accordance with the policies of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) it needs to be current and accurate. If a domain name has invalid WHOIS details, it might be reported and if the details aren't corrected, the domain address could be erased or the registrar company could take over its ownership. By default, the WHOIS details are public and could be seen on many lookup websites, or for a smaller number of country-code extensions - on the sites of the respective Registry companies. All businesses that offer registration services are required to provide an easy way for their customers to access and edit the WHOIS info of any domain they own as much as the particular TLD allows it.
