Re: Domain name privacy

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.

Re: Domain name privacy

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.

Re: Domain name privacy

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