Tasari,
Using proxy registration is just the poor mans "james bond" of disquising..
who actually goes through the trouble of setting up a farm of companys over different countries/continents..
In this case you dont have to use proxy registration anymore..
Of course it does not make sense having a bunch of companys as domainowners and then using the same hosting and registrar

Let me know what you think...
