Register 1 - WHOIS info.

[xiphias]

When I previously had a domain elsewhere, there was a button I could tick to mark me as an individual and thus hide my whois info. No such option with register1, but I don't want to just change any of it to random stuff as it affects my account data with them. Any takers?

I'm sure there is a button there *somewhere*.. you're not looking hard enough

Unless of course there isn't.

This post really didn't help, did it..
Coat. On. Leaving etc..

Why not just use Register1's excellent support service - you could have had an answer in a few minutes?

Anyway, I think I recall Jamie saying previously on here that Register1 does allow you to do this so it's just a case of 'how' rather than 'if'.

There is an option for this on the control panel....

PO Box 12345, London.

I assume if I er, Falsify my organisation details, but leave admin and billing ok, then no one can get my address from a whois? Call me paranoid, but I'd like to be sure

[xiphias]

BUMP

[Plotloss]

Falsified whois details open you up to abusive registration claims if someone wants your domain, just something to be aware of...

[xiphias]

Oh. Well, er, what do I do then, seem to have got myself in a pickle! All I wanted to do was hide my address from the prying internet

[JamieBeeston]

Just use our details, so long as you can be legitimately contacted via the published details then you should be ok.

Well I left the billing details intact, changed the admin and organisation details. Hopefully that should be all ok, I just naively assumed there was an opt-out like on my previous .co.uk address.

Thanks people!

Nah, only Nominet provide an 'OptOut' at present, the rest just try to sell you 'Whois Privacy' for $5 a domain..

and for that they... that's right... they let you use their details


Damn, I should charge $5

I have my details registered to Register1 head office - they allow this as long as you have a legit contact method i.e. email. Cheers
