When you register domains, do you buy whois guard/protection as well?

Its not worth paying for them,most registrars will give out protected information quickly,even with a simple letter requesting it.

Some registrars offer it for free, and when there is such a promo, I take advantage of it. But otherwise, I don’t really bother to pay extra for this service. I know my address and email are open for public viewing (and spam), but I am too stingy to pay for it.

I dont use it whether it is paid or free. It just minimize the chances to get few offers via email or phone.

i dont buy whois guard and protection, its only for wasting money.

never purchased one yet but some times i get it free on special promos.
