If you don't mind your contact information (potentially residential address) out in the wild, I would suggest guarding your WHOIS information.
Doxing, increased email spam, and spam snail mail are all reasons I chose to protect my info.
- whichdan 14y agoDefinitely lots of spam via snail mail - even more so if you've just incorporated a new business.

- pasbesoin 14y agoIf you don't have a business address (just home), and you don't think it will harm your business to do so (if the domain name pertains to such), you can get a P.O. Box (in the U.S.). Just remember to actually check it reasonably frequently, just in case. You can also get a "street address" by purchasing a similar "P.O. Box" service from a private party, e.g. The UPS Store. Although it's pretty easy to figure out what such an address is, i.e. don't expect to "fool" anyone who takes a halfway serious look at your address. It does make receiving non-USPS packages possible. I tend to favor not listing my personal address, if for no other reason than you just never know what problem(s) might show up unanticipated.
