Begginer Queries

[Wil Jo]

Hi guys,
I recently listed a few of my domains for sale and have some queries regarding Domain marketplace mechanics:
1) I've just listed my domains on GoDaddy and proceeded to create an account on Uniregistry to list them for sale. However, Uniregistry requires that I change the nameservers of my domains (currently registered on namesilo) to their NameServers. Will changing my nameserver to the uniregistry ones affect my default domain marketsite website created by NameSilo?
2) Certain marketplaces like Uniregistry requires that I list my phone number publicly in order to list my domains for sale. What is the general consensus with regards to the safety of listing your phone number/email (publicly) on these sites?
3) Is it advisable to disable WHOIS protection when trying to sell your domains? There seems to be a lot of conflict between what I've read, some advocate and others do not.

Apologize for these beginner questions but I think I wasn't able to find a clear answer to these questions with a simple google search. Sincerely appreciate your help.

Thank you!

Yes changing nameserver means you are pointing your domain name to another server. Thus your "default marketsite website created by NameSilo" won't load after the Nameserver change.

2) Certain marketplaces like Uniregistry requires that I list my phone number publicly in order to list my domains for sale. What is the general consensus with regards to the safety of listing your phone number/email (publicly) on these sites?

For me personally it doesn't matters much. In past the WHOIS information was very easily available and nowadays also one can find a phone number with some good efforts.

3) Is it advisable to disable WHOIS protection when trying to sell your domains? There seems to be a lot of conflict between what I've read, some advocate and others do not.

Again a personal preference. I don't use WHOIS protection on most of my domains. When some situation arises where I want to use Privacy then I go for another registrar and use privacy over there. If you are in domaining with a good intent and no cyber squatting or other shady tricks are involved then showing your contact info might help you to make some sales (If your domains are sellable)
