Need a registrar with free (or very cheap) WHOIS protection
I've got nearly 200 domains with RegisterFly (*don't ask*) and I'm finally sick of their incompetence. However, with this many domains it makes it very pricey to transfer somewhere else if I'm going to have to pay and additional $5-10/domain for WHOIS protection.
Anyone have any registrar suggestions?
Thanks.

Ok thanks guys. I registered my first 2 domains there this afternoon.
How long does it take for the whois protection to take effect?
Been waiting 3 hours already...

When I look at the domain details it says:
WhoisGuard is currently enabled for this domain.And then below the contact information is the WhoisGuard stuff.

What else is there to do?

OK, it should be fine then. I've been using iwhois.com, they seem to update quickly.

Have you cleared your browser cache? It might just be propogation issue into your isp's dns cache.

With 200+ domains it will be economically feasible to sign with services like DNOA to receive numerous members benefits, including but not limited to free whois protection.

With 200 domains, I'd transfer them to eNom.

Oops! Sorry. I was a bit off-topic. I wasn't really considering the ID Protect cost, which I think is $6. You might consider joining www.dnoa.org for really cheap whois protection.
