This is the second thread about this.
Bari from moniker showed up to give the typical nothing is wrong response.
Obviously something IS wrong.Comment

Well, I paid for privacy on all my domains with them (like 12 or so) but on one of them I can view my whois info on sites like: http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp for some odd reason.
Still waiting on a reply from them about it. This isn't a drama thread, just wanted to know if this has happened to others or am I just an isolated case.“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket.

Wow...I was not aware of this. I have privacy on every domain I have with them (800+ domains). So obviously privacy is important to me. If they aren't in fact making them private why in the hell am I paying for privacy or better yet why in the hell am I using them as a registrar?

This has happened to me too, sometimes the whois databases seem just not to update...Comment

I just checked about 20 of my domains with Moniker and all show the privacy. I really don't want to do a whois on ALL of them. Did you add privacy at the time of registration or at some point after?Conversion Sharks - 1,000+ adult dating offers, traffic management, and consistently high payouts.

This happened to me when the domains automatically renewed. The privacy didn't.
I had to go back in and manually re-add the privacy. (But of course by then it's too late as many whois services keep a history, down to the day.)
Needless to say I am no longer a Moniker customer, and would never go back to them.Comment

I still can't seem to find any with my whois info showing. Though if so many people are having the issue it kinda tarnishes my trust for their privacy service.

I always get privacy at time of registration and I always make sure to manually set privacy to renew automatically with Moniker because they don't add that in with domain auto renew, it's separate. I paid for privacy, it says "PRIVACY - YES" in my moniker control panel for all domains, yet for one of those domains I can view my whois info.“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”Comment

While I *thought* I had this enabled apparently it wasn't, and I can't prove it was. With Network Solutions, GoDaddy, and the other registrars I've used, privacy is always automatically added, and you have to explicitly opt out of it for renewal. That's the only way it makes sense. It's a fairly narrow percentage who would register for an initial period with privacy, then renew without it?
Even if you re-add the privacy after it's lapsed if it was made public even for a day outfits like DomainTools will have cached the ownership info. Anyone willing to pay for their extended service can get a domain ownership history, and it will include your private information.Last edited by VGeorgie; 04-07-2010, 02:17 PM.Comment

How does this work? ICANN rules apply to everyone, not just those in the US. You have to list your real info, or else cover your ownership using a privacy service or a corporate name.
I don't see where ICANN doesn't allow DBAs. That, a PO Box, and a pager number are all you probably need to do your own privacy. As I understand it, the stipulation is that the information has to be accurate. It doesn't have to pinpoint you as a specific human living at 123 Maple Street.Comment

If the alias is only a false name for domain registration then that would be inaccurate information as far as ICANN is concerned. These are arbitrary rules, not laws.
If your alias is commonly used in business or personal matters than it's not inaccurate information.
I was wrong before about a pager number. ICANN requires a voice phone. I use a pay-as-you-go cell phone for these things.
ICANN supposedly requires the full name of the registering party, but companies don't often do that (Microsoft does not, for example), which is why I think it's better to appear as a company rather than a person. It's common practice to then just list yourself as "support" or "administrator." You don't have to file a fictitious business name to be a DBA, unless you want to get checks in that name, and do certain other legal things. If your DBA is filed with your city, county, or state, someone *could* track down who you are.Comment

moniker is a joke.Comment

where is this ever made a difference? if I use an alias, it doesn't matter when or where I ever used that alias, how is ICANN going to prove one way or another? How can you say it's inaccurate information? If I want to make up a completely fictitious name and use it to register a domain, there is nothing they can do or say about it. If I register a domain under an alias "Joe Jefferson Blough" and have control of that domain, who are they to say that "Joe Jefferson Blough" is an alias or not?

Hmmm, the other thread seems to have disappeared.
Just checked my Moniker domains and they are private.
But a reverse IP found something interesting. I paid the hosting company where these domains are hosted for a separate IP. But the IP is no longer separate since an 'admin update'.
I'm sick and tired of keeping track of registrars and hosts.
If it's not one fucking up, it's the other.

I agree, I've had a PO Box for 20 years and use it for domains and all my personal bills. All privacy means is your slowing down someone who will find out who you are just by requesting your info from the register...and from people spamming your email. I also started an LLC so I can list my company as the registrant in the whois....with a phone number with an answering machine that I rarely answer. for contact I use my nickname and real last name...one of the most popular Italian last names.
Most people need to hide when they are doing something wrong. If you posting your domain on craigslist, facebook, youtube and other mainstream websites to push traffic to adult. you should get your domain revoked.Comment

Although many options exsist from LLC to post office boxes etc many are either time consuming or costly and have weak links enabling your infomation to be obtained.
Depending on the level of security required if anyone would like details of the service I recommend to my clients that offers a 100 percent guaranteed ring of steel around your identity from a swiss based company specialising in this ( you know what the swiss are like !) let me know at [email protected]
Prices are very reasonable ranging from 7.95 per domain down to $1.99 for big portfolio holders........
and of course you still keep your domains at your regular registrar etc
Ps..They are also starting up an affiliate program shortly if anyone wants info let me know.Last edited by Domain Diva; 04-07-2010, 11:01 PM.Comment

I'd be interested in hearing more about this.
The idea that anything on a registrar might not autorenew, when autorenew is checked, is worrisome. Has this really happened a lot with Moniker?Comment

I tend to agree with VGeorgie on this.
I am of the understanding that the registrant name should be canonical (I think that is the term they tend to use) which means no aliases.
If it's in their terms and you did somehow get found out, I think they would have grounds for suspension or whatever.Sharleen Spiteri - 1989 - In The AssComment

I read a names cheap thread about them shutting down a domain with dmca
2) godaddy on going issues with adult
3) moniker leaking whois
so who is left? I personally have had 0 problems with all 3 of these guys.Comment
-
1...No idea I havent read the thread.
2..I deal with Godaddy more than any other registrar and I can tell you the opposite has occured...to be more competitive Godaddy actually relaxed some of its adult policy rules recently. (nothing major just small things )
3.It does seem that way from posts.
Regarding the whois issue ...when your infomation is protected by your registrars privacy service it still remains ONLINE just hidden in most cases.... this goes for most registrars..hence I recommend an independant offshore solution as the only true safe way to protect yourself fully....this is just one of many reasons.

I have checked some of our domains registered on moniker and everything is fine with privacy on them..Comment

While on the topic of privacy, use the feature only at very established registrars.
If the registrar goes under and your domains were set to privacy, the receiving registrar may not have access to your actual data. I know domains have been lost this way, but I can't recall where. Was it RegisterFly when ICANN pulled the plug?Comment

Who posts from the CyberClaire nick these days? No way it's the girl who originally posted from it...probably controlled by the guy she was working for.

They don't have to prove anything. They drive all the cars and it's a one-way street. You could enter into arbitration to get your domains back, but by then what would be the point?
True, the chances of them ever discovering you're using inaccurate information is very low. Unless, maybe, you have a competitor who realizes this and tattles. Why take the chance, is what I think.
A business DBA looks far less dubious, and beyond that, I regularly see companies list their registrant name as the domain name, and a functional role (Support, Admin) and e-mail for the "full name" of the contact. That's accurate information. You can use a PO box or mail drop address. That's accurate information. For the voice phone a "spare" cell or messagebox-only phone number works. Again, accurate information.Comment

Privacy has to be bought to hide the whois information. Why would the whois info still appear after the privacy has been bought? I have no idea.Send me an email: [email protected]Comment
