You're completely wrong and should lawyer up if they ever come to your door. That is not at all how the FBI operates. If they suspect you of operating a child porn ring they aren't going to just show up and ask questions, because if you are operating a child porn ring you will have nuked the evidence before they return with a warrant. They show up with a warrant. They will not allow you to touch the computer, because they won't want you to have a chance to nuke the evidence. In any case, you don't need a clean record, good credit, or a tech job—which would actually be a liability here—to have an account with a domain registrar.

If they suspect you of operating a child porn ring, they know that you will most likely take precaution and nuke everything if you even catch wind that you are under investigation, which is why they will subpoena your bank records, phone records, ISP records, and probably put surveillance on you. If the only thing that shows up from all the data is literally a public DNS that points to a public ip address with questionable content, while you are leading a relatively normal life with all your other income accounted for, the agency (given that they have enough tech experience in cybercrime here) will most likely assume that you are a victim, and will go talk to you. Now of course, nothing is for certain, but statistically speaking, FBI doesn't go busting doors without prior investigation.
