| | If I buy a domain using my myCENTs, will I be able to hide my personal info, like other registerars (sp) allow people to do? Thanks! |

I guess that's another negative then. I still think that masking it is a good idea, since it protects your privacy. I wouldn't want people knowing where I live and stuff like that.
Very good question, actually. I didn't even know that you could hide that information. Always thought that information has to be transparent because it's like you showing your authority on your website. Otherwise when people look you're just like a random person.
I know name.com lets you hide it for free. I also think that it is illegal to put in false info..
It's illegal to provide false credit card information (fraud), but not really illegal just to put "None" or some "fake" details for your address etc. I put "None" in all the time when I register at something and it asks me to enter my address information. It is quite ideal if you don't want sites knowing your address information of where you live too.
 And it never gets you into trouble. It's not illegal, so Police, FBI etc can't do anything to you.  -Sky
I wouldn't think so because the xidomains would take your contact infor you have in the billing and auto fill that information as if you were buying the domain individually. So you could keep your contact info blank or fill it with n/a or blank or something like that to hide your information.
That's a good idea. I would rather not have people staking me and sending me mail all the time about how they want to buy my website for $XX,XXX.
Thanks for the tips!
What are the chances that people would really go through the work of tracing you down just to harass you like that?
It's not that hard to find most owners of websites anyways as most use the same usernames, emails, etc. on other sites, or they just post their contact information right there on the website. Honestly if I was looking for information on something I would much rather go to a site where all of that information is listed publicly than one where it's hidden. It just gives the satisfaction of knowing that the person is transparent.

It's not technically illegal, but you are likely to lose your domain. You are required by the rules of domain registration to make sure that there are valid contact details available at all times for your domain. Putting "None" in all the boxes doesn't really help.

Actually many people would if they really want to buy the domain. When the movie came out, the owner of cloverfield.com got so many emails,, I heard he was trying to get thousands for the website.

Would Trap17 take it away? Even if I were to put in my correct details, and have them mask it, would that be ok? QUOTE(willielwgg @ Oct 20 2008, 12:44 PM) Would Trap17 take it away?

I think ICANN is the one who removes your website if you do not provide information that is accurate. Latest Entries

QUOTE A. At least annually, a registrar must present to the Registrant the current WHOIS information, and remind the registrant that provision of false WHOIS information can be grounds for cancellation of their domain name registration. Registrants must review their WHOIS data, and make any corrections. B. When registrations are deleted on the basis of submission of false contact data or non-response to registrar inquiries, the redemption grace period -- once implemented -- should be applied. However, the redeemed domain name should be placed in registrar hold status until the registrant has provided updated WHOIS information to the registrar-of-record. QUOTE 3.7.7.2 A Registered Name Holder's willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable information, its willful failure promptly to update information provided to Registrar, or its failure to respond for over fifteen calendar days to inquiries by Registrar concerning the accuracy of contact details associated with the Registered Name Holder's registration shall constitute a material breach of the Registered Name Holder-registrar contract and be a basis for cancellation of the Registered Name registration. So, if you have the wrong details, you have 15 days to correct it or your domain is likely to disappear, and you've wasted your money. The whole point of the database is that we know who is running certain websites. Hide your details and there is no way to identify you. In a dispute, there is no record you own the domain name. Another unnecessary risk. QUOTE(Running With Scissors @ Oct 27 2008, 10:24 PM) Is there any negatives to getting the ID protection thing? If not I don't see why they just don't make it come with the package instead of giving the choice of having it or not. I am not aware of any negatives with using ID protection but I would think there are a bunch of positive reasons to use it though, such as protecting your personal information, harvesting your email from whois searches and spamming you QUOTE(willielwgg @ Oct 29 2008, 03:09 PM) If you want to have the website up for sale ever, it will be harder to contact you. No I don't think I will ever sell my site nor will anyone want to buy the piece of junk I call a website lol In that case, if thats the only negative, I think I'll use the ID protection.
If you want to have the website up for sale ever, it will be harder to contact you.
