 | View Full Version : Registrant Contact email - newbie question slowmail 08-29-2002, 03:42 PM Newbie question. If I registered 'mydomain.com', is it a *bad* idea to put userid@mydomain.com as the Registrant contact email? Or is it perfectly fine, and lots of you actually do that? insider_hush 08-29-2002, 06:46 PM I do thewitt 08-29-2002, 07:16 PM The danger here is if you forget to renew the domain or the domain gets disabled at the current registrar, you will not be able to receive email for the domain - like a transfer acknowledgement. Just make sure you maintain control of the nameservers and that you don't forget to renew the domain and you should be all set. -t insider_hush 08-29-2002, 07:21 PM if you are the reseller it does not matter what you place on the domain name admin email, you should get those directly from your resgitrar, I do, but I don't mind placing my name, that way I would be able to tell if someone is trying to grab from under me. thewitt 08-30-2002, 09:25 AM I guess I would not have assumed that Registrant Contact email - newbie question is a reseller, but perhaps... -t nameslave 08-30-2002, 11:12 AM I would say NEVER! It's like putting a spare car key inside your trunk or that of your home in the kitchen. True, MANY non-newbie registrants do that; but since you have already smelt something wrong, why would you still follow the herd? peteny 09-03-2002, 01:56 PM Not too bright of an idea, especially with a higher quality domain name. peteny 09-03-2002, 01:57 PM One more question.. Why would you want to hide your actual email if you dont mind me asking.. |
