Why so many domains have their whois info stripped?
 

Ok lately i noticed that LOTS of domains have just that tiny info in their whois
"
Registrant:
something Inc.

Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (http://www.godaddy.com)
Domain Name: someodmain.COM

Domain servers in listed order:
NS61.somens.COM
NS62.somens.COM"
"

No names, no address, no phones even if it was whois protected would be better, since there is email forwarding to the real one.

But that way it's impossible to get in touch with the owner

isn't that against the ICANN regulations, where they want you to keep up to date contact information?

Yes it is. Dob them in :1orglaugh

Probably privacy related in most cases.

you're not using the right whois service.

try http://whois.domaintools.com/
you should be able to see every whois for every domain name there

Privacy is a good idea, because there are bots collecting this personal data.

that's godaddy's way. They only send basic info and require you to go to their site to make whois, where they try to sell you everything web related.

Try to see the whois info from my sig domain name :winkwink:

Bucks wasnt asking about whois privacy.

He was asking about half available whois info that godaddy and other registrars tend to show.

with a phone call you can get the info

so its like domain proxy for free? :)

very true :thumbsup:thumbsup

yeah i thought you could pay to have that information private?

damn its harder and harder for people to connect...

Make the whois on the registrar's website and you'll get a lot more info.
