I just registered another domain name that doesnt support whois privacy and I would like to hide my actual details.

How have you done this? Post office box?

    Setup a corporation to own the asset, and list the corporate contacts for the whois information

        If you buy one of those registered agent services that might work - I haven’t looked into it and you’re looking at a couple hundred a year though.

        its not the same problem, now anyone who wants to know who you are has to pierce the corporate vale. If the holding corporation is incorporated in a friendly jurisdiction, then you have extra big steps toe pierce the corporate vale (Malta, Kit Neives, Bermuda, etc)

    A post box would be the best option IMO, as well as another contact number. Those combined are more expensive than just purchasing the domain with privacy protection included though…

    If you’re not asked to add whois privacy at the checkout in future, the registrar or domain owner probably don’t allow it

      I think I was spoiled from google domains always including it by default. Using a new registrar now and I just assumed.

      It’s not worth the cost of a P.O. box. Gonna drop the domain.
