A newbie here, so please bear with me. I registered a domain with a big hosting company.
A few days ago, I noticed I started getting emails directly to my personal email with my full name. I started searching up my website and found a website who shows all my personal information. The exact full address where I live, my full name and my phone number.
Do personal information like that suddenly go all public when I register a domain, without my permission? A little bit worried if it's supposed to be like that, so I'm just asking.

When you register a domain, your contact information is published in the WHOIS service. You can use a WHOIS lookup tool and enter your domain name to see what the registration says. Anyone on the Internet can see the same thing.
Many domain registrars offer a privacy filtering service. They will obscure that information and put up their own name, address, etc. (Look up my domain, tangledhelix.com, for an example of what that might look like.) Some registrars will charge you for this, while others offer it for free or bundled with hosting or something else they sell.
Of course, it is too late to pull back the publication of the information now, but you can add a privacy shield service (if your registrar offers one) and stop the leakage from going further.

Teams interpreted my official chat with a colleague and displayed her an obscene suggestion.
While debugging IP addresses with one of my female colleague, I sent her IP series in Microsoft Teams. It looked something like this -> Wifi series is 10.25.xxx.xxx
However, after few minutes replied to the same message, and asked me to delete that message. In her reply, i did not see what the problem actually is. So i asked her why and then she sent me screenshot of what Teams showed her.
Teams showed her what's exactly shown in attached picture. I'm really wondering why Teams did something like this to me.Obscene suggestion from Teams

How can I check if website can be viewed without getting blocked by firewalls like the ones in the schools or in the public places?
I want my website to possibly be viewed from everywhere.
I have Cloudflare DNS and an SSL Certificate from Let's Encrypt
Thank you!
I don't know what to try.
I hope you have only the best intentions with this 😬
I first want to point out, that there are many different scenarios of your site to get blacklisted/blocked. Which would reach from a school blacklisting you to a government DNS blocking your website.
In contrast there would be whitelisting e.g. the school deciding that the people in their network only can view this list of websites. In this case you could do very little to be reached from this network.
To circumvent the blockage of a website it normally requires the user to get around it e.g. by using a VPN.
That said, it seems to me that for a new site it would be most effective to not get blacklisted in the first place.

I am planning to build my own hosting for my website but I don't have much information about Domain Name Service(DNS), I know how it works but I do not know who is responsible, Whom does Hosting companies ask to register domain names?
This is a complicated and expensive process, that will certainly cost many thousands of dollars to complete.
It depends on which Top Level Domain you wish to register, but the first step will very likely be gaining ICANN registrar Accreditation
You will then most likely need financial and business verification.
Once you have gained registrar status, you would then need the technical expertise to maintain your records with the root servers.
In order to register a domain for a website, it will be infinitely cheaper, easier and quicker to go one of the bulk domain registars.

I am trying to get a handle for my company, which was previously taken, but now it's listed as "Sorry, this page isn't available" when you visit the user page. However, when I try to sign up for that user, Instagram says it's unavailable.
I know SO probably isn't the best place to ask this, but I cannot find any information about this - so I'm wondering if people here have any insight.
Every since Facebook acquired Instagram, some of the help pages have moved to Facebook's help center. It looks like several people have reported this issue.
See Instagram won't let me create a username I want but I know it is available?
No one from Facebook/Instagram has responded (yet).
I think your best bet is to follow up on that thread, which is on the Official help and support site for Instagram, and hopefully someone from Instagram will address it in the future.

I plan to sell a book on Amazon and I'd like the book purchase to enable access for the buyer to a set of videos that support the book. Is there a way to get the order numbers for all the books purchased? Then I could ask the user to enter their order number and if I found it I could enable video access.
From what I can tell, the only way to do this is to become a "Professional Selling on Amazon" which costs $39.99/mo (as opposed to an "Individual Selling on Amazon", which costs per transaction and is not eligible for MWS) and request access to the Amazon Marketplace Web Service. This is an API that would give you the information you're looking for. There are other classes of accounts that have access to Amazon MWS (as noted on their FAQ page) but I don't believe any of them are free.
