Ask HN: “Do Not Call” for domains?
For weeks after registering a new domain name I am bombarded with e-mails and phone calls asking if I want web design help, etc.
I guess I could always pay to private register the domains to combat this. However, why must we incur additional fees to protect SPAM and telemarketers? Are there other options available?
- tux 12y agoThis is exactly why I wont register any domain that do not allow whois guard. I would suggest using whois guard, NameCheap has one of the cheapest ones. Alternatively, you can have separate disposable email address on your whois info.
- Fastidious 12y agoGoogle Domains have Whois guard free.
- tux 12y agoThank you for pointing that out. Does google have DNS management and CNAME wildcard support ? Found it: https://support.google.com/domains/answer/3290350?hl=en https://support.google.com/domains/answer/3290350?hl=en " We include 10 million resolutions per year for each domain you register with Google Domains. " Question: What happens when you reach 10 million ? Also found disturbing article about google whois guard: http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/03/epic-google-snafu-leaks-hidden-whois-data-for-280000-domains/ http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/03/epic-google-snafu-le...

- forgottenpass 12y agowhy must we incur additional fees to protect SPAM and telemarketers? For the same reasons that if you had a sales team, you'd have them make cold calls.
