is there any way to register a domain and when you do the whois search it doesnt show your name and address? (a way that doesnt cost anything, other than the fee of the domain)

thanks

Straight from whois.com, this is what I found:

It doesn't help you much, as the only thing u can do to fix your problem is pay a small premium, but this is information that helps answer your question

Like the other users say yes there is also i would mask your ip address at the same time if you can as it is allways helpfull to do this
