.me domain names

I'm looking at registering a .me domain, however it seems most sites don't offer whois privacy for .me?

Only one I have found is easyspace, any idea of others that will protect my privacy?

Http://www.register1.net offer free privacy - plenty of people here use them

Problem is the domain costs a lot more to begin with than some I've seen that don't offer privacy. Anyone have another suggestion?

Godaddy.com

namehere.me is available! Just £5.82

Pretty cheap and i'm sure they offer whois protection.

I hate the way they blackmail you into buying the whois protection. I just left the door number off mine as I didn't want everyone knowing where I lived as it's a security risk.

I own a few domains with godaddy and for my .co.uk i use nominet for protection.

I am seriously considering going for .me.uk instead, just I think .me sounds and looks better

It's not blackmail - it's a feature which requires registries to complete various forms, keep records, etc. So there is a cost

For .uk domains however Nominet don't have any such rules and simply provide an opt-out of showing the registrant address (for non-trading individuals), which as a domain registrar I love - at the end of the day KISS!

I heartily recommend Hover.com as the opposite of GoDaddy's quagmire of up-selling and bad design. Whois privacy is part of the base product and not an add-on.
