Suspend my domain over an incorrect phone number?!
I have all my domains with Namecheap but just bought a domain with dynadot.com ($4.99 deal) because I just need a dummy domain to test something and didn't want to pay the whole $10 from namecheap to do so.
So I get an email from Dynadot after signing up and buying the domain that they need to send a call to my phone number (which is not my actual number) to verify it, and that if I don't verify it my domain will be suspended in 2 days. Why the hell would I want my cell number listed in whois information? Sounds retarded if you ask me, yeah I could buy some whois blocker or something but that's besides the point. Next thing you know they will want me to fax in a photo copy of my ID ffs.. |

![]() The funny thing is, they can have my $5 for all I care, I'm not putting my correct number in, and it's just a pointless domain nothing special, so I'm going end up paying even more than if I just went to Namecheap. |

fuck them if they want to be difficult
email them a number they can reach you, but tell them the number you put in your domain whois stays as is, if they can't handle that, then never do business with them again |

I definitely wont be buying any domains from them after hearing that. My number 1 pet peeve is them having to verify my info and waste my time.

Just because it's a "pointless domain" you think you should get away with using false whois info?
Use your real number or buy whois protection you cheap bastard. |

They don't NEED a phone number, what if I didn't have one? My address and email info is correct, so I can still easily be reached. In fact if them or anyone would actually call my phone I wouldn't be answering it because it would just be some random out of town/state number that I don't recognize. |

I'll help you out here.
Google Voice. http://voice.google.com If voicemail isn't good enough let it ring to your cell number then after the verification turn off the redirection to your cell. Your real number will never end up in Whois then. ![]() BTW, I think the verification is BS as well. Godaddy called me a few days ago and left some automated thing on my VM. The problem is everything was cut off except for "Thank you for being a GoDaddy customer, please call blah blah for more options." If I find this was some sort of verification I will be pissed since my number is legit (Google Voice). If they are allowed to pull domains for this there should be clear procedures and limits to it. They shouldn't be able to pull your domain in a couple days because the automated tool thinks you used a false number. I'm not about to go through voice menu hell with GoDaddy each time their stupid machine leaves an improper message on my voicemail. That's ridiculous. Btw, I do not recommend GoDaddy. I used them recently to get a $1 domain and I have some old domains which would simply be too much of a PITA for me to transfer because they make it so difficult with their BS. |

Well the protection is to just mainly stop the public from getting your info I believe.

Whois is retarded as it is, I'm glad I started using my P.O. Box instead of my actual address. Imagine if you ran a site that pissed certain people off, they could easily look up your address and come to your house, ridiculous. So I try calling their customer service through Google voice and they are closed for the night.. |

Everyone knows that false WHOIS info is grounds for revoking a domain name, that's why there is such thing as private WHOIS ...

I don't have a problem filling in correct info, it's just the phone number bit that is nonsense.

If some nut wants to go after you and is that motivated it's very likely he or she would pay to check to see if you exposed your old address in whois. Once it's out there already you're probably already potentially fucked unless you can think of another way to make that info useless. ![]() |

Another easy trick:
Use something like "Domain Admin" "Domain Administrator" "Domain Management" "System Administrator" etc. for the name. It's not invalid (even Yahoo does it) but still hides your name from Whois. There's little reason to pay for whois privacy if you're smart. ![]() |

Sad to say, but you shouldn't post stuff like that here. There's enough pricks here with nothing better to do than to find out some of your other domains and report them for false whois info.

I've found that it's actually pretty easy to transfer away from Godaddy, and the transfers are pretty quick.

They also have some very questionable fees and policies which may make your domain ownership not very secure at all. They are best avoided for serious domains. ![]() |

As for the 60 day period after changing contact info, that's against ICANN rules and if you call them they will remove the hold. I agree about avoiding godaddy ![]()

false WHOIS info is against ICANN policies
they can suspend your domain for that and you have no right to bitch about it adapt or die |

I have hundreds of domains with proper info and never get called. Just fill in the proper info and answer the phone if/when they call. What are you? 15?

Whois Privacy is the answer. It's worth the extra few dollars they charge for it to keep your info from public eyes.
