>>105930990See my posts above about LLCs. What these re-sellers are doing is what I described above. But instead of buying domains for themselves they offer a service to buy and manage them for other parties.
What this means is you do not really own or control the domain name. They legally own it and can do whatever they want with it. So they can take away your access to it at any time. You have no legal recourse if they do it. Typically, they will also work closely with law enforcement/feds and hand over your dox to whomever asks. They also don't tend to protect it well from anyone that isn't the law either. They could also vanish tomorrow and sell all the domains they control along with everyone's dox and there is nothing you can do about it.
If you set-up your own LLC/501(c) you can buy domains (well rent, really) yourself and have full control and peace of mind. In addition, you can buy as many domains as you want. Or anything else. You also get access to the benefits I mentioned above.
Everyone that's running a business should NEVER have it tied to their personal legal name. Since it's very easy to get in legal hot water, sued or fucked over by the tax man/Government. LLC is peace of mind for not much money.
Many states are _very_ lax on the rules they have for LLCs/corps. It's why so many richfags all register theirs in the same states and lobby so hard to keep the laws in them the way they currently are. You do not have to be a citizen or operate anything your business owns/does out of those states. The "person" that owns them simply exists in whatever state you registered in on paper as a "citizen".
