If you enable privacy on domains, does it use the register's service or the WHMCS service?

I want offer free private whois, but I want it to just use our whois details instead of the users or the domain registers privacy service.

 

Basically if they choose privacy it will use the registration details of our choice.

 

Thanks,

as far as i know it doesn't work this way, the information used with Privacy Protection service belong to the main registrar

Thanks,

 

Can I pay someone to do this? Like you guys? I don't want to pay a register for privacy when we can do it ourselves.

you can't really do that - it could look like the client is paying for the domain, but you're registering it in your name (or a third party)... i'm sure ICANN lays down some strict rules about privacy organisations.

 

as far as I know, resell.biz still offer free whois privacy with their domains.

I'd like to provide this same service. The eNom privacy protection doesn't work very well. If a client signs up for it post-domain-registration, it charges them but then doesn't add the privacy protection. What's the point in charging our customers if the services doesn't even work? So, I'd prefer to just offer this for free and use our information to keep theirs private.

 

Anyone have idea's? The enom.php file is encoded, and there don't appear to be any hooks associated with modifying the contact details. Any implementation of this will be a total hack to the template files and would potentially be outside the scope of the WHMCS internal session security. Ick.
