Yes, it will update WHOIS within 24 hours for all private domains in your account.
There is no programming required. You simply need to select "No" and then submit the form.
Yes, but how does that fix the whoisology.com archive issue?
It was a facetious statement. You know like "brain surgeon" "astronaut." An allusion to the fact that you have this setting buried and NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT IT. And it makes privacy NOT SO PRIVATE when ordering multiple domains within one or two days.
Sorry, but you've lost my business. Done. Back to using Crapdaddy and namecheap.
We do not make any attempt to hide this option. WHOIS is a service that can be checked at any time. If the results are not to your liking, we offer an option to change those results and still maintain privacy. Again, this option is available to use, and it is certainly not our intention to hide it. We have quite a few different configuration options for several kinds of services, but we cannot highlight every configuration option that is available as we do not know which things are the most important for every customer. The vast majority of our customers have no issue with our default privacy method, but we make an option available for those that do.

Get your facts straight, please !
50 websites is not a huge number - if you have many hundreds or thousands of sites, you can't have one registrar for each domain.
DNS is a completely different issue - nothing to do with domain name registration. I have dozens of hosts, vps, etc. Of course my entire network is not on the same DNS (how long have you been doing this????) 50 sites on one server ???
I am not "scolding" NameSilo for not offering SEO-hosting protection - their method of providing privacy is seriously flawed.
Their method of describing how their privacy options work is seriously flawed.
I will also add that the DEFAULT option when you register a domain with privacy is for your domains to be "grouped" by email address.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I cannot understand why anyone would want their domains to be private AND be identified by the same email address? What's the point of this option? What's the point of privacy?
How many people, when they sign up for NameSilo privacy, actually realise that this is what is happening by DEFAULT ?

Silverbak, if it helps, I'm also using internetbs.net ... much better than GD ... much better than namesilo, too, under the current circumstances.

I'm not sure, but I think you might find that whoisology does not update their records immediately - you might find that some domains that are not yet listed and appear "safe" might show up in a month or two ...
I cannot speak to how many people are aware it is an option. I can say that most people simply do not want their personal information in WHOIS. This is the reason WHOIS privacy is used for the vast majority of people. At no time do we ever show personal information in WHOIS which is (by far) the biggest reason most people utilize privacy. For people who have a need to prevent WHOIS harvesters from linking their domains to the same person, we offer the option I have mentioned several times on this thread. We also randomize the emails every day (just updated from every 1-3 days) to make this even harder for harvesters. However, again, simply selecting the correct configuration option in the account prevents this issue entirely.

Without a doubt these are the go to guys for privacy.
Says Mr. 95 post? lol. You know what, you're brilliant. I tell everyone how they should NOT be using only namesilo for their domain purchases (because it reveals your blog network), and somehow you think that me telling people to NOT use namesilo makes me a manager for them? I assume that, if you have a business, you'd give your managers a pat on the back when they tell people to NOT use your service? You're the sharpest kid on the block.
My pet peves:
#1: Trashing the name of a company for no good reason. NameSilo did nothing wrong, period.
#2: Jumping all over a new members of a forum because they're, like ... new. Everyone had a 2nd post. Deal with it.
The only way you're going to make a private blog network actually work is if you're more paranoid about being found out than the OP. Hence, my pointing out the DNS/registrant being same issue was a favor, meant to help him on his next network in avoiding Google's attention.

Hi NameSilo,
The way you tried to retain clients is really bad. SilverBak has found himself exposed and it cannot be a mere coincidence. The very least is to apologize and swiftly change his Privacy settings and perform follow-ups so as not to tarnish further.
You'v just lost another client!
