Looking for recommendations for domain registration sites where you can do a Whois opt-out during the registration process (for individuals and for .uk's).

Some you can fax or email after registration, but it just seems easier if it can all be done at the same time.
Thanks

I can't think of any off the top of my head. It might be easier to email a couple you like the look of and ask if they can do it via email, if they are Nominet members it will only take them 30 seconds ;)

Thanks for your reply Paul. I'm surprised at the lack of response on this topic - perhaps the wrong forum ?

On another thread I've seen that UKreg do it.

123-reg.co.uk allow you to do this at time of registration.
If you forget - log into your control panel after registration (immediately after if you like) and then do it.
Fully automated - they just ask you to confirm you are an "Individual" as they are the people who are allowed to opt-out.

Remember - only non-commercial sites can optout of the .uk WHOIS.
I contacted nominet.org.uk when a .uk site stole some content and they responded and un-hid the whois within 24 hours.
