Upcoming changes in WHOIS - How will it affect resellers?

[CastionCastion is verified member.]

So we all know of the upcoming GDPR changes coming to WHOIS at the end of May. But what do you think the effect will be for domain resellers that public whois will be a thing of the past?

It has the potential to limit the incoming offers from end users that traditionally would look at whois and contact you through your listed Email. In future will the importance of domain markets increase from this change?

Probably more use of landing pages to let people know how to contact you and I think it will certainly increase the use of domain marketplaces by resellers.
Now we just have to let the buyers know about domain marketplaces.

I think Domain Brokers will do very badly with the new change.
general effect also not be so good.

Marketplaces and forums and landing pages will win for sure yes.

There will always be a way out of it, I am very sure of that!

The other sites Same as WHOIS also updating their terms?
If are not able to see the information, it will be tough for the person who belongs to SEO field. because in on-site audit, they check the domain expiration and other things.

There will be a way to check domain expiration from the registrars. I don't think there is the need to border oneself now, when it is done, domainers will look for ways of getting all those things resolve. We have experienced so many obstacles before now but there were ways out of them all. I think that is why it is not necessary to get oneself bordered now.
BUt if there is a way to stop the matter, then we can get bordered and correct them.
