I have a domain that I bought many years ago. I've had people call me on the phone to question me about it, and some people have even come to my house to see if I'm a real person because of it. It's a fun one.

Type "illuminati" backwards, and add a ".com" :)



Does WHOIS protection protect you from that? I'd be freaked out if someone showed up at my house to see if I was Illuminati or not.


yes, if you pay for a whois protection service, it hides your personal info.


https://gandi.net has always offered free WHOIS protection, at least for those domains that support it, if you look up any of my domains with them it's all pretty much hidden. I think some domains require the owners to have actual info, and not their registrars?
