Hi. I just get beack to domain stuff to buy out some of my fresh ideas and I've noticed that namecheap adds You WHOISguard for 1 year for free to any new bought domain (normally cost some 4.8$/yr). I know, godaddy got some nice deals too, but they often takes customers as hostages for fictional problems and they charge You sometimes with nonsense fees (25$ for "spam report" checking, etc). This is more safe. If someone ain't registered at namecheap, just hit my referral link below, thanx namecheap.com
You do not have the ability to post live links. Namecheap has been offering that facility for quite a while- works well for new domains. After the year, you need to buy one of their whois packages, which aren't too costly either.
I can't I don't have 5 posts I'm more in GFY forum cause I'm adult webmaster. but this forum looks OK and has some nice threads. I might look for mainstream in future.
