anyone have a good privacy service they can recommend for .com's ? i'm not sure if they all work in the same manner, but those i've looked at (1and1, godaddy) seem to be registering the domain in THEIR name, then providing you with a contract that states that you're entitled to that domain thru them. Which seems rather sketchy. Am i being paranoid?
- wmf 17y agoYou're not paranoid; that sounds like a bad idea. You want to find a service that puts your name as the contact but hides your email and postal address. NetSol does this, although their pricing is 4X the industry standard.
- magv 17y agogandi.net has an option to list your name as the owner, but replace all the other information with their own (the mail to the obfuscated address will still be redirected to you). On the other hand, I don't know what are their legal obligations to ICANN; they may be required to provide your real information on request; you'll have to research this question if it's important. Anyhow, this obfuscation scheme is the best you will get, without registering the domain to some other person than you (and I would recommender against it).
