question Whois question

Your contact information is supposed to be fully shrouded, but you can disable the privacy feature.

They can contact you with anonymous email provided in whois. Your registrar fowards those to your real email.

All depends if your in the business and are prepared to qualify. I keep mine active i may not answer but it is active for when i do. I will always want a paper trail email trail of what is said if i am using a marketplace i ONLY do business though that contact address i will ignore or forward any outside contacts back into the method from marketplace they found me. I also have whoisdatatool.com which will also find similar names. I have other whois sites with different api's and run various scripts for seo over networks.

Hello, im new to this and im just now seeing this thread. I had the same question and i know for a fact if your signed up with Godaddy your info is private. the only thing you can see in the whois would be your email. and i believe your phone number. i just bought a virtual business office so that way i can have a full address without looking like im spam. At least thats what i have been watching on youtube. i hope this helps

When you hide your whois information, no one can see your personal details but you can change it in the future. But if you aim to make sure that your personal information is hidden, you can read this article on Ideoname blog which I read a few days ago about different ways available to hide your whois info.
