I currently use 1and1 as my domain registrar but am considering using another company in order to get a 10 year registration. I've noticed a couple of companys are charging for privacy, but Ive done it myself with my domain via the Nominet website. Is there a difference? The only one I can see is that my name is listed in the WHOIS information, whereas with these ID protect services my name is withheld. |

No. As long as the WHOIS information is valid, it's legal. All 'WHOIS protection' is them putting their details instead of yours, and an email address that does some forwarding. You can easily just put their details manually. It's probably not technically legal since they aren't your details, though it's impossible to know that from the outside. As you say, the registrar leaves some things unchangeable like your name, but that's up to you. |
