DreamHost Domain Whois Privacy
As a new feature DreamHost now offer to keep your whois registration data private.
Instead of using your own information when registrating a domain, you’re now offered to use DreamHost’s proxy service. All emails will automatically be forwarded to you without revealing your real email address, while paper mail will be shredded and phone calls will be given an recorded message with instructions to email you instead.
This feature has often been requested in the forums, both as an anti-spam measure and as a privacy protection option, and some customers have even moved their domains to e.g. GoDaddy, just to get this feature.
More info in the feature list and in the Control Panel.

Thank you DH! Btw, I hope you have a full time mail person because you’re going to be getting a lot of letters from Domain Registry of America.

It’s genius, really – That P.O. box is ONLY for the domain privacy feature, and that’s the only place we use it. We ignore all mail sent there. Anyone here know what happens when a P.O. box gets totally full and the post office can’t deliver any more mail to you? I’m rather curious.
