Howdy, I am curious what others in the industry think on this topic. When one registers a domain they can put in their real information or they can use a proxy, like Go-Daddy's Domains By Proxy.
Now, personally, I would prefer just to get a PO Box and put that address on my domain info instead of doing a proxy. I could also put down a phone number in the registration that just goes to my general business phone line which is just a DVR. So the question I have is this: What actual security are these proxy companies providing to the end-user? My company website has my real address, my real phone number, exec bio's and pictures of them yet upper management (and our marketing company) think using a proxy is a good thing. What's the difference between using a proxy vs using a PO Box except that a PO Box is cheaper? I'd just like to get thoughts from others to see what the general feeling is on this topic. Cheers, Mike
