Why so many domains have their whois info stripped?

Yes it is. Dob them in

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.

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

**TeenCat** · 05-26-2010, 03:46 AM

**BucksMania** · 05-26-2010, 12:09 PM

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