I've purchased a few domains in my life, but it was always through Google Domains in the past. This weekend I bought a new one through Cloudflare so that I could make a nice subdomain structure for all of my self-hosted apps. That went great - I'm using Traefik and Pihole for the local DNS.

But in the past two days, I've gotten 28 spam calls and a handful of text messages from companies who want to design my website, or logo, or something else. I only listened to the first few voicemails but they did mention the name of the domain I purchased.

This didn't happen when I used Google Domains. Is there something I missed? I knew this information was public, but I feel like I must have screwed up somehow and it put me on a lot of spam lists.
