domain privacy services for co.uk domains

[pugyrob]

Hi, i have my co.uk names registered on my TAG and am looking for a domain privacy service so that my whois remains confidential. nothing sinister, just prefer it when having a few sites.

Anyone know any good cheap services for this?

Cheers

If the domains do not resolve to a commercial site, you could just invoke the personal whois opt out. Otherwise you could get a mail forwarding address.

Yep - just use the same that the (horrible) Domain Registry of America use - which I believe is Mailboxes etc.
PO Boxes can still be 'deprivatised' by calling Royal Mail

Nice one, thanks!

I'll look into a forwarding address

I have a mbe.co.uk box for some of my 2257 requirements, hard to deprivatize than royalmail

I would be very careful changing the registrant name away from something real for .uk's

Rob, I can't see nom havin an issue, I have been business using MBE addresses on their companies house forms, on their cans in off license, on their letter heads. Because sole traders don't to be perceieved as small, they change their address from

4 Little Cottage
Country Side

to

Suite 4
Piccadilly Tower
Manchester

The address still leads to you, still legally under your name, just redirection.

 

[rob]

Yup - not saying issue with addresses (however redirection services might add to the timeframes in some areas) however changing the registrant name to nonsense as per some .com could cause issues as that entity is the registrant if that makes sense

Always ready to serve. On a 'bill customer' basis.

Nominet don't have a problem with using a forwarding address. They do have a problem with opting out of whois if site is commercial. Also on the subject of MBE, I had a mail box with them in my town and not once when I went into the shop to check my mail did they ask for ID (they didn't know me), so anyone could have gone in there and asked to check the mail in my box number (which of course you have to give out in your address). Needless to say I didn't renew with them but went to one of the many London mail forwarding companies.

Both the MBE's I use don't ask for ID either, mostly because they are Metal Boxes fixed to the wall that you use your key to open.

Looks like a trainstation locker.

I also have a front door key for 24 hour access to my mailbox heh.

In my case I never asked for a key, since I wasn't going to be using it much. Just as well really, if I had used a key I wouldn't have had to ask them to open it and I probably would never have discovered that they would open it for someone without asking for ID.
