No. HostCONCEPT will not show up in any traceroute that your customers run. The only identifying factor that will show up is that of our upstream provider, and since you could have purchased connectivity through them, your customers will not know that you are reselling with us. In fact, if they determine your IP address and run a reverse lookup on it, your domain name will show up as being assigned to that IP address. On the other hand, if they run a Whois Lookup on your (or their) domain name, they will see our anonymous DNS servers listed. Of course, if you want your own personal DNS servers to show up when they do this, just add this service for US$25.00 setup and US$10.00 per month. You can then register and transfer domain names using your own personal DNS servers. Whois records will indicate (for example) NS1.YOURSERVER.COM and NS2.YOURSERVER.COM. We will continue to provide the DNS services, but your customers will see your personal DNS servers information in their InterNIC reco
