Domain Privacy

[Zohann]

Why people insist of having their domain data private? I though that if you put some content on the net, especially businesses, why would you want to hide your contact data?

[Crazzy]

Well, sometimes people don't create sites to promote themselves and they don't want to be connected to the content. But it is silly to open a business and keep whois data private.

I see your point but I still don't see what's the big deal about it. I still think that this option is ridiculous way for domain registrars to earn money. This should be optional when registering a domain. But in this way, they first make you share your private data and then they charge you if you want to hide it.

I totally agree that there should have been at least a notice saying that domain privacy would need to be manually set.
