Is it worthwhile to not have contact info published in connection with
the domain name registration? Whois claimes this eliminates spam....
not unless you want to hide for some reason. You will get spam but only
at the contact address... so use a throwaway web address for that
No, not trying to hide. My e-mail will be on the website anyway. I just
don't want any *extra* spam because of this. My emails are already on the
web anyhow.
Thanks.
Make sure that your whois info is correct. Legally they can take your domain
from you if your details are incorrect. Very rare, though it has happened. I
register hundreds of domains, the majority with www.namecheap.com. They
provide free Whois Privacy. Godaddy charge you for this, unless you register
5 or more at a time. You can use this site www.retailmenot.com to find
coupons for various hosts etc.
