We've just been asked by a client when we're going to offer something like Network Solutions "Private Registration". See the message that he received from NetSol below.
Is there any word on when/if OpenSRS will be offering something like this? So far all I can see from OpenSRS regarding the issue is the response "This is part of the registration agreement and failure to do so can result in having your domain name deleted.". That response just isn't going to fly with our clients that are sick of the spam (plus the one client that wanted the info hidden because of a stalker). Sounds like it would be a very good thing for us to be able to offer. I cringe every time that I see one of our clients using his key email address in a new registration, knowing that we'll soon be getting asked why he's started getting so much spam. -D >From: Network Solutions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Introductory Offer to Protect Your Contact Information > > > Protect Your Privacy > from Spammers and Telemarketers > > When you register a domain name, your address, e-mail, and phone number are > published in the public WHOIS database.
