I finally managed to find how to remove the domain privacy for a domain registered in Godaddy.
I desperately needed that because otherwise I couldn’t issue the Godaddy Domain Certificate bought along with the domain.
By default Godaddy does “protect” the user hiding the domain WHOIS information from preying eyes using the services of DomainsByProxy
Therefore the domain privacy was set to:
Administrative Contact:
Private, Registration REGISTEREDDOMAIN.COM@domainsbyproxy.com
Domains by Proxy, Inc.
DomainsByProxy.com
15111 N. Hayden Rd., Ste 160, PMB 353
Scottsdale, Arizona 85260
United States
(480) 624-2599 Fax -- (480) 624-2598
Technical Contact:
Private, Registration REGISTEREDDOMAIN.COM@domainsbyproxy.com
Domains by Proxy, Inc.
DomainsByProxy.com
15111 N. Hayden Rd., Ste 160, PMB 353
Scottsdale, Arizona 85260
United States
(480) 624-2599 Fax — (480) 624-2598
In above WHOIS information REGISTERDDOMAIN.COM was actually the name of my REGISTEREDDOMAIN.COM that had Godaddy’s Privacy protection enabled.
Anyways I have tried to login to domainsbyproxy.com using my Godaddy credentials, but for my surprise unsuccesfully.
I even contacted Godaddy and they have explained I have to use my domainsbyproxy.com account in order to change the privacy setting, it took me a while until I came across Adam’s blog wherein I found the solution, as explained below:
- Go to the Private Registration Page on GoDaddy’s site (make sure you’re logged in to your GoDaddy account)
- Type in some random characters into the search box
- 3. On the results page, click “Continue to Registrationâ€
- 4. Click “No Thanks†on the ad page
- 5. Scroll down to the section labeled “3. Select Your Domains By Proxy® Account“
Doing so I have noticed the username and password near the text Select your Domains By Proxy® account (Private Registration account) it was written like Login: 123123123 Personal Name
I’ve used the login id 123123123 with my Godaddy password in DomainsByProxy Login
Having done that I was able to login! It’s a rather strange way to get your DomainsByProxy automatically created account by Godadaddy.
Well I guess it’s just one life oddity 🙂 though in terms of usability and user convenience I see it as something really crucial godaddy has to fix ASAP.

Hi Faye,
Great it helped you 😉 I’m amazed there are ladies, who are into the GNU / Linux world. How did you ended a Linux fan 😉 I saw your website, very interesting stuff. When I have some more time I’ll have a closer look.
Hope to see you around 😉

Lol! There aren’t too many ladies out there that program on Linux, it’s true 🙂
I sort of fell into it on my first embedded job (I was an ordinary C++ grad to start with), and never looked back. Love it though – best job in the world.

I don’t use any messenger clients – I have a 2 year old and a 7 week old, so my time at the computer tends to be in 6 minute blocks when they don’t need attention! You can always get in touch over twitter or via my site.

Oki great, you have a family. Wish you all the best with taking care for the kids. Surely taking care for kids is funnier than staring at the screen 😉

doesn’t work for me – it does indeed show me my login number, but using my godaddy password doesn’t work 🙁

Maybe Godaddy changed something it used to work for me, hmm

You are the best! It took me two years to finally release my domain and get it off Godaddy as well as my other domains! This was the last one standing!
