Do you write your true contact details in domains?

[DnDigger]

The question is more about name, address, not email or phone number. Is it very important to write them correctly? Can domain register suspend account for that? How do you write?

If you provide false information, they can revoke your domain registration.

If you don't want people to see your information, use a privacy service.

This. :imho: there's no point in hiding your contact details, if anyone cared enough... they could find that information other ways.

Yes, but it's not very good that google indexes some of whois info.

i had a few sales from people contacting me via the whois info

Very good point, if you run multiple websites even having them spread across different c-classes could be outfoxed by google if you dont use privacy.

If the reason you are purchasing domains is for resale why would you want ot hide this info?

I have had people contact me throught this information.

I can't see why you want to protect the whois, at least not for all of your domains. Most of my end user says come from there.

 

[DnDigger]

It's enough name, email or phone to contact you IMO. But I doubt about address field importance.

I use all of my real information - I want people to be able to contact me about my names. I wish more offers came through the WhoIs instead of Sedo, but that's just how it goes. I include my name and my business address & email.

 

[realtimeregister]

We get alot of emails and phone calls from people who want to buy a domain name purely based on the whois information. The reason they call us is due to the fact that alot of people do not know the difference between a registrant and a Registrar.

 

[ddesigns]

Yes i do, Wish some day i will be lucky like liror and SmokinJoe24 when somebody contact me for my domain purchase.. i write all true info

Right!


Also, would someone buy a domain if your contact details on whois don't match with, eg, bank account or paypal?

 

[nielsencl]

I have start adding things like "This domain may be for sale" in the second address line or the company name. Does anyone else do that?

 

[madiun]

True identity of course!

@nielsencl
Good Idea! I think I'll try that!

 

[DU]

If someone calls your number / sends an e-mail and it gets a disconnect or invalid e-mail that person can file an invalid whois complaint.

At GoDaddy this incurs a $10 fee.

I think continued failure to respond is a violation of T&C and you might lose the domain. You get something like 5 days to respond. If you don't like it and you want to be anonymous I would setup my own anonymity (PO Box/e-mail). I don't trust 3rd Party Privacy.

 

[FocalDomains]

I'm focusing on contacting end users via email at the moment, so I need to build trust as soon as possible. I include my full name, address, and phone number in my initial email.
