Anonymous hosting/domain question
Hey everyone. First post here with a few ?'s about anonymous hosting/domain registration. I've been a web developer for a while and just started building a site for a friend of mine overseas. He wants everything to be completely anonymous due to the nature of the site (steroids).
Now I'm pretty sure I got it figured out but it seems too easy. Offshore domain registration with a prepaid card/ offshore web hosting the same way. My guy says he wants everything as anonymous as possible and is already hooked up to the Tor network with Privoxy. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

You're going to have problems signing up for any hosting service using Tor or Privoxy (will fail your fraud check immediately) as for domains - just use WHOIS Protection - unless you/your client is doing something illegal then there would be no legal reason to force the registrar to drop the WHOIS Protection and the owner's identity would remain hidden.
Beyond that, I'm not sure if steroids are illegal so maybe somebody else can comment.█ Michael Denney - MDDHosting.com - Proudly hosting more than 37,700 websites since 2007.

Thanks for the quick reply and congrats on the engagement. I don't want to turn this into a domain discussion in the wrong section; but looking at some other sites I've registered under Yahoo with WHOIS Protection, you can still see the name of the person it's registered to. Any way to have WHOIS display a no name/a company name instead of a personal one?

Sounds pretty logical lol. Must be a Yahoo thing, never been a big fan of their services. Thanks for the help Mike, I really appreciate it.

Yes, an ID Protect or WHOIS Privacy Protection will do just that. But, on the other end, why would anyone want to do business with an anonymous business?
