Re: Domain name privacy
Thanks all for the quick input here.
Maybe I'll go with a UPS post office box since they give a non p.o. box address. This is ridiculous when you think about it because LEOs could go to the P.O. or the UPS store and get their records via warrant if they had to to determine who rented the box.

Houston, TX | That's just an extra layer they don't want to have to do, I guess. Anyway, it was useful for getting spammers deleted. |

The UPS mailbox sounds good to me. I was just looking for comments on how a P.O. box stacks up to a UPS box, and the only pro of the P.O. seems to be the cheaper price.
After seeing this comment, now even I want one:
"When I go to the post office I leave upset. When I go to the UPS Store I leave happy!"
At any rate, the chances of your domain name being blitzed are slim with either one. |

| Personally I think the requirement for the info is a bit much for personal users. It's fine way back when owners of domains were usually businesses and the prevalence of spammers/data skimmers were much lower. With the misuse of the WHOIS data of recent years, ICANN really should look at other approaches to protect it's registrants' info.
In the mean time, registrars gets to earn extra revenue by acting as proxy. IMO, this is one of the few areas 1and1 has got right. Despite their sometimes problematic customer service, they offer private domain registration included in their already low registration price. |

Gilbert, AZ | 1 and 1 domains looks pretty good. Damn I'd save $45 a year transferring my .tv to them. |
