Is it possible to hide my name when people whois my domains?

If your domain is registered on Namecheap, then you can go for Free WhoisGuard Subscriptions.

No, my domains are registered at godaddy and 1&1. But thanks for the advice :) I'll look for something similar at godaddy also.

Private Registration at Godaddy will appear in the whois database as "Domains By Proxy" --- You can use that for a small fee per domain.

Transfer your domains to Namecheap, the first year of protection is free and $2.88 a year after that. On GoDaddy, I believe it is like $8.88 a year.

Yea its possible

Yes, you have to pay for it though.

I think godaddy also offers that service but it aint free.

Isn't it free with 1&1?

Yes, the whois privacy protection is free at 1and1.

I prefer Namecheap because of the simplicity

I'm with godaddy for all my websites and for some I've the private registration which costs me about 9$ a year.

Thinking of moving to the cheaper one after seen these posts.

I don't know about go daddy

but i do know about 1and1 bec my host is 1and1 as well

go to domains -> highlight your domain -> click on contact -> private/public registration

then just select private and select ok

:) hope this helps

that is how i hide my domains

1and1 is free for private domains

but I like GatorHost much better because I have adult sites .. hehe :) 1and1 don't supports adult sites

so I have GatorHost and 1and1

but overall 1and1 has much better User Interface tho.. look clear and easy to check what you want to check
