Just a note to follow up on our recent phone call, where I had described some reasons that the DomainsByProxy service was being used by us on a large scale:
-- our number one reason is simply privacy. If we run a website called "WeLoveWidgets.com", we may not want anyone to know that we also run the site called "WidgetsSuck.com" (not that we run either of those, but you get the idea). It's too easy at the large registrars to do ownership searches to find out every domain an individual possesses.
-- We’re less of a target to the large search engines, who often discriminate in their listings against "professional" webmasters. With your service, Google can't tell if we own all top 5 websites that sell widgets. They can only rank our site based on its merit, and competing webmasters can't report us for dominating a particular category. It removes the politics and lets us get back to basics.
-- DomainsByProxy reduces the amount of spam we receive! Important messages still find us, but random spam seems to pass us by. That alone is worth the price.
-- our last reason is personal safety. One of us had a problem a few years ago with an online stalker who found our phone number via a Whois search, and who kept harassing us. Now our information is hidden, without the extra expense of additional phone lines, email addresses, etc. So, overall, your service just makes us feel safe -- Nancy R.
