       Be careful if you register your domain name through #Bluesky. "Bluesky offers an additional layer of privacy protection by acting as your domain registrar agent. We do not register your personal information with the WHOIS directory, [sic]" which, in practice, means you don't control your domain name, you are not even the holder, Bluesky is.https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/7-05-2023-namecheap

       > We’re partnering with Namecheaphard pass. They can't even make a decent API. You have to POST your entire zone; you can't change a single record. If you try you'll wipe out all the records you didn't include in the API call.

       @bortzmeyer Most domain registrars offer the same kind of privacy protection, it's commonly used and isn't a problem.

       @cwilcox808 Not at all. They record your data in their database, they just don't distribute it to the public, but it is still there, and available when there is a dispute. Here, Bluesky claims they will record *their* name in the database. In case of dispute, they are the registrant and the poor guy who used this system is nothing.

       @bortzmeyer The WHOIS directory is public, that's all there is. Any registrar has private business records of domain registrations to reference in the case of a dispute. You *are* expected to keep your contact information current with your registrar and ICANN requires registrars to send reminders every year to domain owners.Based on the link you shared, it appears Namecheap is the actual registrar, Bluesky is just a reseller. Namecheap itself also offers to keep your contact information private. Again, this is common and not risky for domain owners.https://www.namecheap.com/security/domain-privacy-service/

       @cwilcox808 OK, I stop there, you do not read what I write.
