Worst mistake for E-Commerce Site
I just read about this on another blog.
The author suggested that the worst mistake an e-commerce site can make is to hide its domain information. This is done by registering your site with privacy. Apparently some people will do a lookup on a domain and will not buy from a site that doesn’t reveal any information about itself. Makes sense. You want to ask - What are they hiding?
I know many people who have registered their sites with privacy. And I know why they’ve done it. It’s because they are a home-based business and don’t want to list their home address for all the world. My suggestion? Get a P.O. Box and use that. I got one from the Post Office, the smallest one they have, and it was very inexpensive. I was fortunate , a new post office opened up less than a mile from my house. Before that I had a box with UPS, but they are WAY too expensive!

ha right! I always have to make the whoisprivacy default. Though I have my address somewhere on net, but still, I don’t want my mail address shown to someone who actually might be interested in knowing it. By checking whois that is. if they really want to and really serious they can just email us about it.
we’re a starting a home business website that will soon sell stuffs(just nationwide). but I’ll still prefer to hide our valuable home address to someone just randomly checking stuff.
-hey, I think I might do your suggestion. might aswell find a cheap po box online.
