NamePros domain name setup

[JoshHendo]

I am assuming that you all know about the place where you can set up a domain name with NB$? As I am under 18 I am going to be setting up domain names that way, but do I still have to supply my address with it (I am suspecting that I do), and if I do (which I think I have to do) is it possible for a higher price to have a domain name by proxy, so no one in whois can see my address?

Yes, you'll still need to enter the WHOIS information when you register a domain. It doesn't need to be yours neccessarily, but it should be valid.

We don't have a whois proxy service yet.

I was hoping Ron to implement that feature soon, i was also hoping for the enablement of the .co.uk domain extension. =)

He's not suggesting you put random people's addresses. He's just saying that it can be anywhere. Like home, work, post office box, grandma's house, a friend or associate that handles your affairs, etc.

I understand your concern, and I'm a privacy advocate myself. I suggest getting a P.O. BOX if possible. It's only a few bucks per month, and serves as a great barrier against spammers, scammers (and others from the 'outside' world) getting your home address.

I had a PO box once, but my dad shut it down when he shut down his online business it is a shame though
