Domain Privacy (Name privacy)

Can you please include name privacy in your domain privacy? I want all info privacy like others big registrars offer, currently Dynadot domain privacy is useless as shows owner name, because i not purchase that privacy. Hope you can change that useless rule or at least offer TOTAL privacy option with self-privacy(shows name) option.

Also see Dave Zan's Blog (http://davezan.com) and read up on past articles to learn of some of the horror stories that are possible when you don't really own your domain. Dave is an independent consultant, and totally unrelated to Dynadot. Here's a specific article about the risks of domain privacy done wrong:

I certainly hope they do not change it. As it is, you are the owner of the domain name when privacy is enabled, and Dynadot acts like a forwarding service to you. With a proxy service, you are not the true domain owner, the proxy service is, so you're taking a chance. I don't like to take chances with my domains, so I prefer Dynadot's method.
