I suppose I should also clarify: I'm not starting the business under a false name -- i.e,. I'm using my real name, credit card, address for my google apps account, web hosting, etc... It's just that for signing the blog posts and things like that I'm using the "nom de guerre" of Bob (actually it's not bob, but you get the point). Let's say my name is Chuck Norris - I'm not ready yet for someone googling "Chuck Norris" to see my project appear - yet.

But why? Why are you so hesitant? Are you starting a website for battered women, a support group ex-Christian-fundamentalists, or a web-app to help Yakuza members leave their organizations? And if your name is on everything, including DNS records, won't it be fairly trivial for someone to find out who you are?

  +1 Why? There are very few good reasons for being secretive. It would really help if you mentioned them so that we could discuss it. Secrecy, in general is not good for a startup (of course there are exceptions)
