Domain Whois Record – Your Questions…

Carol asks…

Opt-out of WHOIS?

Heh, i’m not paranoid, much. 😛

I have a .co.uk domain and a few weeks ago I opted out of the WHOIS database, so my address is now not displayed in a WHOIS lookup.

I’m worried that there might still be a way for a public user to obtain my address through this service, or by another which might reveal it.

Would this be possible, as my previously recorded address could be on file? Or would my address be completely eradicated from the database never to be seen again?

Thank you :o)

When you register a domain name, there is an option for a small extra fee to get a “Private Registration’. What this means is that when someone looks up your domain name , all that they will see is the name of your registrar and not you. The last time I registered a domain name through Godaddy, this service cost an extra $4 pa. So I suggest you go back to wherever you bought your domain name and see if this is an option.

.EU Domain Names Near To Lift-Off

Posted on by

If you are a European based company, individual or organisation, now is the time to review your online plans in the light of existing trademarks and brand names you’ve already registered.

The .EU domain offers those based in one of the countries of the European Union an ideal Euro-wide online identification alongside the already famous .COM, .NET and .ORG generic TLDs, as well as existing country-wide domains like .DE, .FR and CO.UK..

Experts say demand for the new .EU domain is expected to be high.

The initial “Sunrise” period has started so you can reserve your .EU domain right now.

The Sunrise period is designed to permit existing registered trade-mark owners in any of the European Union’s 25 countries to register their .EU domains before the rush starts in January 2006.

At that point it will be a free for all rush when anybody (who qualifies) can register a .EU domain.
