Godaddy seems to be offering the privacy option. What is gTLD? They also
advise against using throwaway web emails.
however, I don't see who this privacy thing buys my anything real. my
addresses ae already on the web and will be on this site.
I'm wondering if I should buy the hosting feature, though. How much space,
windows/linux, data transfer....don't really know about all that. The site
is a one-off kind of thing...and well disappear after two years. Not selling
anything...mainly for information...don't want to over spend for it, though.
I strongly recommend using your registrar's WHOIS privacy unless the domain
is actually owned by a commercial entity. Unfortunately, the operator of
the
.org gTLD does not allow it. You would have to use some other gTLD (like
.com or .net) to enable that feature. You can certainly use a throwaway
web
address to combat e-mail SPAM...

No, not trying to hide. My e-mail will be on the website anyway. I
just
don't want any *extra* spam because of this. My emails are already on
the
web anyhow.
Thanks.
