your godaddy domains - GoFuckYourself.com

might be a good time to make sure all your contact info is correct ... i've just heard stories about getting your domain "held hostage" because you didn't have the right phone #

I could tell you a few good ones but they seem to be okay now

... the only registrar that seams to sweat me constantly about this

why did I go there? they inherited all my registerfly domains when they took a dump

can they give you any trouble if you have a few domains registered to just initials in the name field?

ie. like for example: J T, and then a legit address and phone #

Yes, that is grounds for having the domain revoked with any Registrar.

I know its not a good practice but I have close to a thousand domains with Private Domains as their owner.

This goes for all registrars, and not just GoDaddy..... Should you need to prove ownership of the domain, be prepared to produce documents that match the whois data in full.

So if the name field on your whois says "J T" or "MyDomain.com" or "Acme Company" then you should have documents matching those names. A lot of webmasters make this mistake. They pull a company name out of thin air and use that in the whois.

Although if your domain is stolen, a US federal court found this past summer that whois data is meaningless and someone lost a domain they paid $150,000 for. http://www.domainnamenews.com/legal-...ownership/1653

Looks like ICANN has been getting on the registrars recently:

"ICANN will continue to broaden its efforts to enforce the Whois provisions of the RAA and study trends that impact Whois accuracy..."

so if you had say a few hundred domains with godaddy, all under the same account number, but with different names down in the name fields, by virtue of the godaddy acct. that has control of the domains should matter more than what initials or fake company name or whatever is in the name field of the whois, wouldn't it?
