Is is good or bad to have the email address of a domain's registrant on the same domain?
- by Eric Nguyen
Say I own domain abc.com.
I think it's a bad idea to use eric@abc.com as the registrant's (myself) email address.
This will cause problems when I need to transfer the domain to another registrar e.g. GoDaddy. The new registrar will then try to send email to eric@abc.com which is unlikely to function normally since the DNS settings are undergoing changes.
So I believe it's best to use email address independent from the domains I own as the registrant's email address. (Isn't it the practice Google Apps is using?)
Have I missed something here or am I right?
