Web Hosting whith Domain Privacy
I'd like to find a good web hosting (waow..that's original ;-) ...which would include "Domain Privacy" among its features (and possibly free of course..we are all the same!;-)
From my search, I've found:
BlueHost, HostMonster (as it appears that it's ...BlueHost) and GoDaddy ($5 option)
So:
(a) from the 3, which one would you recommend to me?
(b) would you have in mind some other hosters offering "Domain Privacy" (with the same reputation as those last 3)?
Thanks very much,

I believe NameCheap gives you one year of WhoisGuard free when you register a domain with them.

I go with godaddy's domain name registration (with protection), and get hosting elsewhere..
-JasonHave you considered Semi-dedicated Hosting? 4 - 8 accounts per server. Less overhead than VPS, better performance for the price.

You should sort out your domain name registration first, then go looking for a host. Here's my short list of recommended registrars/resellers:
http://www.dynadot.com <-- $7.99 year + $2.00 for whois privacy
http://www.stargate.com
http://www.moniker.com
http://www.namecheap.com██ UBERHOST

PS: I see the above poster recommends HostGator. Well I could support that advice also since I have a bunch of sites with them and no problems.

Most hosts offer this service, but they don't advertise it. Just ask and they can tell you their fee. This type of setup is becoming more and more popular, and will be offered more readily in the near future. The only registrar that I know that offers it up front and without special request is ait domains.

I would recommend registering the domain at Namecheap, they include 1 year of free privacy option.
Register the domain separate from the hosting

I would not be looking for a host with this feature, but a Domain Registrar. Then you can have the pick of all webhost for hosting. There in no need to do it all in one place if you can do it cheaper with 2 services. ( Plus I think the idea of having your domain registered with your host is a bad idea, too many times people come here complaining about how there host is holding there domain hostage, etc. Where if they are separate to begin with it will never be an issue. )
So for domains I use:
GoDaddy
Enom
Directi
NameCheap ( currently my fav )
For hosting I would look at:
Bluehost.com
hostgator.com
ixwebhosting.com
steadfast.net
verticalhost.com

I would suggest finding a Domain Name Registrar that is accredited by ICANN and not reselling domains through another registrar.
And, keep your domain names with one company and your webhosting with another.

If a host is offering a 'free' registration, I would take advantage of it (after making sure that you have complete control over the domain. Then I would switch it to Namecheap well before I was thinking of closing my account with that host.

Ah, ok. I missed that, sorry.
If I had one domain name, that would work well. If I had mutiple, like I do now. I stick to a company that I know well and that have competitive products and pricing.
