  • Go to Domains > My Domains
  • Click the domain you’re changing
  • You should see a heading for “Privacy” — click “Manage”
  • Log into Domains by Proxy using your GoDaddy username and the account number you got when you signed up for the privacy service (search your email).
  • Cancel the service

Also, I think that private registration is essential. I used to get lots of spam from domain registrations before I started using privacy.

Anyway, my question is: How do I get GoDaddy to remove the private registration. And, is it completely necessary that I do that? That’s the only part I’m having trouble with.

I don't see godaddy as shady - so far, I've had AWESOME service with them. And I've never paid more than the standard 8.95/yr for a .com domain, I don't know where you get this crap about them hiking the prices to stick it to you on renewals...</p> <p>As for the private registration; I don't use it, but from what I can tell, is that you're just saying it's a feature that dreamhost includes for free, whereas you pay for it at godaddy. Same as any other buy this and get this expansion free deal - let me show you one at godaddy; I have no use for Private Reg, but I DO need advanced pinpoint DNS control - and that's one of many things godaddy includes at no extra cost.</p> <p>Meh now I'm sounding like some kind of goddady advertiser - I'm not paid by them or anything, just a very happy customer. I'd mark Godaddy up there with Google and Apple, Inc as my favoritest companies in the world. And I have a dreamhost account, I'd be more inclined to say <em>they</em> are the dirtier company. Have you looked at (mediatemple)'s products? I have a hosting account with them as well, they're quite awesome.</p> Why? I don’t see godaddy as shady - so far, I’ve had AWESOME service with them.
