Hello ppl. I have a question. Two questions actually:
I hired a domainer (with a good number of positive reviews) on Fiverr to help me create accounts in my name on different domain-selling platforms, like Dan, Squadhelp, Dynadot and so on.
Of course, to do that he requires some sensitive information, such as my name, address, phone, email, etc.
I anticipated he was going to ask that kind of personal stuff before hiring him, and I was kind of OK about it.
What worries me somehow is that he also asks "The email you provided above, is it the same email you used to buy the domain names? if not, Please share the email through which you bought the domain names."
The thing is, for security reasons, I have one exclusive email address for my domain portfolio, which I don't ever use for anything else, and I explained that to him.
To which he replied "It might make some problems in the owner verification. I have faced some issues in the past if the ownership's mail and listing mails are different."
In my experience, the ownership verification is usually made by adding a TXT record with a string given by the platform, or something like that.
So, my two questions are:
- Have any of you ever needed to do an owner verification on those platforms that needed to enter the email address used to register the domain?
- Do you find it risky to share that information?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks for reading.
