I'm looking for registrars that offer privacy protection, i.e. hiding my real WHOIS information. Namecheap supports that through Whoisguard, but I've had bad experience with Namecheap so I'd rather not register a domain with them again. I'd also rather not use GoDaddy, for similar reasons.
Does anybody know another registrar who can hide my WHOIS information? I'm only interested in .com domains.

Preferably, that registrar should also:
- Support DNS management (the ability to use their DNS servers, not mine).
- Support email forwarding.
- Be located outside of the United States.
- Have the ability to pay through Paypal.

both godaddy and namecheap do not provide free whois.

godaddy forget about it.

namecheap whois protection allow 15days will change the privacy email automactically. it is not free...

my advise go for domaincentral.com (.com USD 6.50) as the price is cheaper than answerable.com (.com USD 6.99) .

As for the DNS, apply mydomain.com account and use their free DNS service.. for email and url forwarding..

Namecheap provides whois guard free of cost for new registrations*. Auto generation of email for the whois is also provided free for this whois guard. [from 1 to 7 days, every 15 days and every 30 days is possible]

* Note: according to the information on Namecheap site free whois guard is also provided for transfers.
