Hi,
I have been a customer of namecheap for awhile and I am very pleased. I want to try out their WhoisGuard feature, anyone try it? How is it?

Thanks!

How much is it ?

$4.88/yr (per domain)

semms this 88 is thier lucky number or what ? :)

I think it might be $4.88 for two subscriptions. Is a subscription a domain? I'm not sure.

fewcoin

Works the same like godaddy,protectfly, enom etc.

dmaven, im wondering if its any good, and does anyone have an example of the whois that it returns?

Thanks.

they are not using enom ID protect service.

they are using their own which costs nothing, just like namecheap they are using their own.

any domain registration provider can offer such service which is built from scratch.

I think they don't use enom at all for this service , they do it themselves

They are a huge domain registrar/reseller(top 15). They do this themsleves. They also handle forwarding of snail mail so this is pretty cheap if you factor what is done

are sure about it ? nothing illegal in that ?

Yes but there is more to the service than replacing their info with yours. There is also forwarding(email and snailmail) they need to have a legal staff to deal with sub-poenas etc and more

yes if you can do what proxy services is doing, you can run it urself.
