A related word of warning: Namecheap updated their registration page last year.<p>Now, when you register a domain it tells you free Whoisguard is included, but it doesn&#x27;t make it clear that <i>it&#x27;s disabled by default.&quot;<p>Previously it just worked. Now you have to check another box to turn it on.<p>This change makes no sense to me. (If you want free Whoisguard, why would you not want it turned on?)<p>I was </i>white-hot furious* when I discovered that a handful of new domain regs had leaked my contact details, and I began getting the inevitable spam calls and texts.
