Sorry to trouble you, but could you list a few that offer the free WHOIS protection? I used godaddy to register my domains, but they want to charge me every year to protect them, which to me is kind of annoying, since all that they are doing is allowing me to use their name on my whois page. I could see charging me if they were a 3rd party--at least then I could justify it as paying them to maintain my information in a database, but godaddy already has my info on file.
One other thread of questions: can I use a 3rd party to protect my whois, or am I required to use the registrar who I registered the domain with? And if I am able to use a 3rd party, could I not just set up my own company in order to protect the info? Or does the company need to pass some sort of ICANN requirements? I'm not trying to anonymize my site for any kind of illicit reasons, I just don't want spammers eating up my info.
