How do you buy a domain name, reliably, in a way that you're not going to lose or be hijacked but without revealing your identity to the authorities ?
In other words, how can you own a DNS domain name anonymously ?
Will that mean paying a lot more for it ?
Will that mean using false identities (I think illegal ?)
Is it only possible with shady DNS supplies which might steal your domain, shut down or even impertonate you ?
