I pay for Namecheaps hidden DNS stuff so I don't get spammed with offers and whatnot, but I'm under no illusion that it means my information is private, private.
- dublinben 12y agoIf your privacy is worth ~$100/year, you can register an anonymous LLC through a registered agent in a state like Wyoming or Nevada. This would be your legal point of contact for your domain registrations (and any other business purposes) and comply with any ICANN requirements. Their business entirely hinges on strong privacy/anonymity, and is well established within state law.
- ryan-c 12y agoHave you done this? I'd be interested in details.
- ChuckMcM 12y agoI did not, I went with the generic LLC in Nevada but looked into it. It is pretty straight forward, you contact one of the registered agents (they advertise and you can find them at your search engine of choice "Nevada LLC") and you pay money and poof, you get an LLC. Your agent is a lawyer acting on your behalf. Besides state law there is attorney-client privilege to aid in keeping you secret. Not surprisingly, when you talk to these folks they will assume you are either very wealthy or doing something which will make your future LLC "disliked" by a large number of people. Because I was neither of these things, the recommendation was just file the paperwork myself, save some money.
