When registering a domain name, there is always the option to buy privacy protection which change the information that is shown in the whois records.

Can I offer a "homemade" privacy protection service which cost less and has the information of my company instead of, lets say, the Enom privacy protection service.

It would basically be a service offered by myself instead of another company.

Is there anything on the legal side preventing me from doing this or anything else that could create trouble?

I offer 'home made' privacy to my customers. As far as I can tell the only requirement - and I am not sure if it is a 'legal' requirement - is that the email address is legitimate and can be verified.

Since I use the businesses address and a generic (domain-privacy@host.tld) email address that I monitor, as far as I am concerned it passes the test for being valid contact details.

Now, should some federal agency come a-knocking, you can bet that I will be quick to hand over the real details. I make this clear to people, that this service is only to prevent harvesting and attempts at con jobs.
