I see a lot of people (myself included) in affiliate marketing doing private registrations if the concept is simple to copy + replicate. If you're a one trick pony, you should probably have whois privacy.

On the other hand, I see this industry moving away from thin landing pages into more full-blown sites, which takes a lot of hard work in time, in which case, who cares if they know who owns the site or not. Just my two cents.
 
free at 1and1.com too, with $6 domains. and yes, DO IT. and fuck bob parsons and his godaddy henchmen.
 
I do use it. I am a little dubious as to exactly how effective it is but I use Namecheap for registrations and it's free there so I may as well take advantage of it.

1and1 is even worse than GoDaddy. :rolleyes:

My favorite thing about 1and1 is their super secret login to change domain auto-renewal settings. Well, that and the amazing tech support, which could easily be replaced by a tape recorder repeating "we show that your server is operating normally" on an endless loop.

Don't forget their great bulk setting tools. :rolleyes:
 
Yea agree there is no bulk setting tools and I don't use em for hosting. I just buy domains through them cheap, set the NS to my box, and host the DNS on my own server. Full control muhahahahaa....

Check out ISPConfig. One dedicated box with a bunch of IPs can rock it with that software.
 
Well axxo...

I usually do whois privacy but just got a $1,000 offer for a domain I don't have whois privacy for... I though people might bring this into discussion earlier. But, it seems like not having whois privacy is more likely to entice the purchase of your site or domain, should one be so inclined.

And if you're not doing anything shady... who really cares about whois?
 
Always.

Another benefit of it is that registrars can't send you physical mail asking you to move over to them. I got those all the time add my old place and when I have 30+ domains registered without privacy.
