Is your domain registration private? What is displayed in the WHOIS information for people who register domains with ClassNames.net?

It's Classnames.net. Classnames.net is really just a branded site of enom.com. I.E. we are actually enom. When you register a domain your info is in fact going to show up in a Whois search, just like any other Registrar. For $8 you can add privacy protection to your name though, in which case your identity remains concealed.

Is that offered/explained when the domain is purchased? (did I miss seeing it?) It shows your name, address, phone #, etc!

Thanks for your prompt response, Brad. I'm not sure if I need to worry about this or not. The information that is visible there, with the exception of my e-mail address, is also available in any online phonebook search. I guess that's the concern, harvesting e-mail addresses for spamming purposes.

Yes. When you go to www.classnames.net all information is there, including privacy options and the ability to add that feature. Many people do.

Bots and things are not likely to find it. At least, I don't think so. I'm far from an expert on techniques spammers use to pick up email addresses. I can only tell you that the privacy option is there should you want to be extra sure it doesn't become a problem.
