I considered it a non kyc registrar
Until you say they demand kyc from you.
Can you share more details? Do you have high value domains , something worth like 10k usd?
Did they demand your documents.?
I had a specific domain, I think it was a .eu extension.
It wasn't even a request, but a suggestion to enter the contact information of the domain owner, technical person, etc... It was about coordination with the central registry.
Keep in mind that it was more than 10 years ago (since I've been using Namesilo), that the whois protection service was charged. For the most part, whois protection was not used, especially when it comes to company domains
Since the domains were not mine but from my clients, I entered their information, because I did not want to risk losing the domain or any complications because of it.
Now I found a fairly old email from them, this is what it looked like. (Removed individual link)
Hello,
This email is in response to ICANN's requirement that registrars ask their customers to confirm that their contact information in WHOIS is accurate. You can read more about this requirement on ICANN's site at http://www.icann.org/whois/wdrp-registrant-faq.htm. We send this email one time every year so you will not receive it again until one year from now.
You are receiving this message because your information is associated with one or more domains for which we are the registrar of record. To make this process as easy as possible, we ask that you click the link below and follow the provided instructions.
No action is required if your contact information is correct. If it is not, there will be options at the below link for updating your details.
Please remember that under the terms of the registration agreement, providing false WHOIS information can be grounds for cancellation of your domain name registration.
Thanks for your attention to this matter,
NameSilo.com Customer Service
