Here is my story:
I go and find a rare domain I like that I want to use for a website. I go with moniker to buy it. Then the transaction completes WITH NO OPTION FOR PRIVACY PROTECTION! None! And this domain type normally has privacy protection.
I search around the interface in moniker for privacy protection, nothing. Moniker's help and interface are useless. So no privacy protection is possible.
I do a whois going directly to the whois site from a command line linux whois. I find that my personal information name, address, phone are all out there. I also know companies will keep all whois history that changes so this is terrible and I can never use it for a domain name!
I try to contact moniker by email. They don't answer. By phone, they say their office is closed.
Moniker claimed they would refund when I signed up but nothing.
So I change my personal information to random stuff and I try to update. I go back and I see moniker did not update. I try over and over dozens of times. At some point moniker claims a pending operation is done but I see nope it will not update.
So now a hard-to-find domain I was going to use for a website is RUINED all thanks to Moniker. I can never use it for a website because once my real information is there even once, it is stored forever on websites.
