    Hello,

    I wanted to know if there is anyway to protect a .us domain name. I have read at namecheap that they cannot provide whois guard with .us domain names.

    Is this the same at all registrars for the .us domains

    Cheers

    Dave

    registrant's contact info is not allowed to be hidden on US domains. applies to all registrars.

    Yes, it will be the same at Godaddy or anywhere else.

    I belong to Domain Name Owners Association - DNOA.org.

    They let you use their address in Las Vegas for domain privacy.

    Might be a thought.
