If you have purchased a website domain or Unique Record Locator (URL), you might have had a bunch of calls from well meaning, but ultimately annoying companies trying to sell you websites. Here's the simple way to stop it.
When you purchase the domain with Go Daddy, our preferred supplier, they try to upgrade you to their 'Privacy Protection' for $7.99 a year or business production for $21.99 per year. What this does is replace your contact details with Go Daddy's so spammers can't call you.
Surely, this should be free, but we live in a commercial world and privacy comes at a cost. I personally, don't pay as I feel like it's extortion of a sort and just don't answer unknown calls for a week after buying a URL or another strategy is putting in a phone number that will not disturb you i.e. reception.
However, if you are more concerned with your privacy take this option for year one and save your time.
Hope that helps!
