I'm trying to decide how to organize the contact info for my domains. I just went to whois.net and entered a domain of mine to see how much of my contact info appears there and surprisingly, none of it appears. At what point is my contact info viewable by the public?

Usually by default the contacts are visible, though many registrars give you the option of using their details to 'protect your privacy'.

If you're building a brand, IMHO you want your details public as it's a bit sketchy to have them hidden.

If it's building backlinks, you may want to be cautious about having the same details on lots of domains.
