They're going to put my home address on the web!

On 1 July, Nominet will publish the addresses associated with all domains under its control: *.org.uk and *.co.uk among others. One of the main reasons I went for cluefactory.org.uk was that it didn't have this requirement. I need to get my details changed fast!

Thanks for the heads-up, skx!

Clarification: I already have a BM address I use for domains like ciphergoth.org; I just need to get the details changed on my UK domains to point at this address.

Update: At the moment that domain is registered with a friend, and so I always feel guilty mailing him to ask for changes. If I wanted to transfer to a commercial registrar, who should I go to and how do I do it?

So can we get the BM address in there instead? Or what's the alternative?

What revolting behaviour. Why are they doing this?

I would have thought the obvious solution would be choose a real but no longer extant address (but which will appear for example in the A-Z) and put that down. I can offer a couple of suitable ones if needed.

Yeah, I saw that one a couple of weeks ago I think and thought 'why???'.

But as anyone can get my address from a .com or two, I'm not that fussed. It's tempting to start a 'accommodation address' style business though.
