off the list

Do you own a website?

Then, chances are, someone is oogling your privates right now.

Whois is a database query system that allows anybody — read junk mailers — to find the registered owner of every site on the web.

What do they find?

Not much — just the registered owner’s name, address, phone #, and email.

Yikes.

Most domain registrars — Register.com, GoDaddy, HostMonster — provide domain masking services for an additional fee.

But perhaps you like dangling your junk for all to see.
