Is it possible to reg a .com and not have your details showing like the uk opt out? I'm sure i've seen some privacy thingy?

sorry if wrong section. wasn't sure what to put it in. :???:

Yes you can use privacy from some registrars but it often costs a little extra.

Did you know that when you register a domain, your name, address, email address and phone number are immediately made available to anyone who wants to see them? That’s right. Your personal information is exposed 24 hours a day, everyday, to anyone, anywhere.

You have the power to change this. With a private ("unlisted") registration through Domains By Proxy® (our affiliate company), registering a domain name doesn't mean sacrificing your privacy.

Try Directi (reseller club), you can enable privacy on their system.

PM if you would like details of a sub reseller account

thanks gents. These don't affect ownership rights I assume? no ambiguity over ownership if it came to an argument?

Can't speak for other registrars, but this is the help page from Directi

How can people Contact me if I enable Privacy Protection for my domain name?

Once you enable Privacy Protection for your domain name, the Contact Details for your domain name in any Whois Lookup query would display generic details. If someone attempts to contact you at these details, this is how they will be greeted:

* Letters, Couriers delivered at the Postal Address would not be accepted. This implies, that you will not be contactable at the address displayed in your domain name Whois.

* Telephone Callers would be advised to email you at the email address displayed in the whois of your domain name.

* Email sent to the email address listed in the Whois, will get a response specifying an unbranded URL, which needs to be visited by this person. Upon visiting the site, they would be able to mention their query in a secure form, while specifying the type of Contact (Registrant, Administrative, Technical, Billing) they wish to email. The contents of the submitted form will then be emailed to the selected Contact's (Registrant, Administrative, Technical or Billing) address, as specified in your Control Panel.

Therefore, you are assured of still being contactable, even though your Contact Details are not visible in the Whois of your domain name.
