Hello, I've just registered my first .com with Surpass, and everything seems to be going swimmingly. I just did a whois on my domain, though, and to my horror, what comes back but all my personal information, including my home address and phone number. How do I change this Whois information to be just a bit less personal? It's a bit unnerving.

you need to login to your account on Surpassdomains.com Once your logged in you can change all your info. You can input things like N/A into all the fields so your personal info is hidden from view.

Also, be forewarned, one of the conditions of registering a domain as set by ICANN is that valid contact information has to be present. Generally you can change it to whatever you like and it goes unnoticed, but if for whatever reason someone points out invalid contact info for your site, they can send a complaint and it will get your domain locked until you input correct information. I just dealt with this for one user about a week ago.
