    Are you talking about hiding your address and name or your nameservers? If you order Whois Guard, they'll put a different name and address in there for you. You really can't hide your name servers. You can make the servers be named differently, but you can never hide them. Are you trying to hide who you are hosted with?

    ultimately EVERY global surfer NEEDS to get directly or indirectly your nameservers else no one could surf your pages/sites!
    all ISP-owned name servers, all private nameservers ( i have my own in my laptop ) need to dig root servers and domain NS ( get domain to IP resolving ).
    it makes absolutely no sense at all to hide NS in whois records because you always NEED to get NS for name resolving from every public DNS around the globe.

    NAmeservers can't be hidden anyway.

    If you change the names, yet they'll point out to a particluar IP?

    If someone pings them, hostname is revealed along with main domain etc. etc. There are many things...

    You can't hide name servers and there is absolutely no point. If you want to seem more professional use a service like http://www.dyndns.com/ which some large sites use to host their dns.

    you could hide the DNS
    you must have another domain name
    activate the NS host there
    put your Host NS settings there
    like ns1.yourdomain.com
    and this would use ns1.yourhost.com

    also you must have the domain name from a registrar that allow you to do this

    These services specialize in hosting dns related services. Just like there are content networks which lots of big sites use. I know web sites who had frequent DDOS's on their dns servers switch to services like this to help mitigate the affects it had on their dns. http://www.ultradns.com is another DNS one who runs the DNS for large sites (amazon, forbes, ect.)
