I was going to register a .com name, and the website where names can be registered gives the option for $6.99/year of having a "Private Registration".
It states...
Is there any real chance of fraud by not having a private registration? I had a .com registered a few years ago and it wasn't a private registration so my details were on the public database and I'm not aware of anything having happened...
So I was just wondering what most here usually do, or is the private registration a bit like taking out insurance on a toaster i.e. cheap, but a waste of money

I suppose I can just use a free e-mail account for the registration so I'm not too worried about spam.Private Registration keeps your personal information out of the public database, protecting you against spam, fraud, stalkers and worse
