But why? What are you using your domains for?

I use them for email aliases via adyy, and self hosting things like jellyfin and nextcloud. I don't really "need" the privacy, but I still like to have it if I can.

I feel like they are way too expensive, otherwise they are nice.

I also kind of feel like domains shouldn't necessarily be private.

They are a little pricey, I'll give you that. Just out of curiosity why shouldn't domains be private?

I honestly have no good reason. It just feels right for it to be public information for some reason.

With that said, I would never register a personal domain without some kind of "whois" privacy. For obvious reasons.
