information Changes to your GoDaddy Whois Email Privacy Settings

[411domains]

For those who have been tediously editing your domain settings one-at-a-time, this is especially for you!

They finally implemented a privacy settings feature that allows us to bulk edit the DomainsbyProxy email forwarding settings right from our Domain Managers. (As it should have been from the very beginning.)

This is good news! Perhaps we'll start seeing more leads via the whois databases.

Thanks @411domains

GoDaddy is probably testing this.

I'm not seeing that option yet.

Why you need it?
GD already forward whois message to default email

It seems that they have stopped forwarding emails from domains that are under privacy.

Best way to solve this, is to transfer any domains you have with GD to another registrar.
It will be the best thing you do this year.

So, for any folks out there that have changed their privacy settings based on this recent option, have you noticed a difference? Are you actually receiving any emails?

And what about the blocking of the courier service (UPS, FedEX) or first class mail? Have any of you addressed that concern with GoDaddy, or does it not matter to you? What privacy is there related to those communications? Are those courier packages and first-class mailings opened by GoDaddy, or returned unopened to the senders? Hopefully, the latter applies, if they do indeed still block such snail and courier mail being sent.
