    hi, I'm planning to buy 2 domains with namecheap and hosting with another company.

    but I don't want to give my real adress, names, surname, etc.

    because I don't want the people to know my name, but can I do this. lets say with the namecheap registration I'm going to give a false name, adress, surname, etc. would that matter, or doesn't it matter.

    and with the hosting, I give a false name etc.

    would this work, can I do this. or will they stop my account.

    it's all about privacy, no1 must know my name/adress, with my site.

    but lets say I don't buy that, would it work if I enter wrong false name, adress etc.

    would that work, and with hosting.

    ( with google adsense I know, you can't enter wrong data, because you won't get the money :) )

    I wouldnt mess around with fake names when buying a domain, either get whoisguard for free or pay for it failing that register the domains with your host and ask them to use their own names and addresses etc for registration of it for you :)

    When you buy the domain, you get whois free for one year.

    Technically you could probably get away with a fake name and address, because nobody really checks it. But if you do get caught, your domain will be taken away from you.

    If it is about privacy, buy whoisguard or other privacy protection services.

    I'm going to buy whoisguard, but I wanted to know. if I was able to use a fake name, because then you are a 100% sure they can't know your real name. but with the whoisguard, will people be able to see information about me, what information will they see. (can maybe hackers, hack and get my information).

    I don't know, can I trust whoisguard.
    I just want to have a 100% privacy

    Namecheap gives you from whois privacy when you buy a domain so your all set on that end.

    no warez hosting etc.

    it's going to be like a news site (people can insert articles and they can give opinion etc.)
    so they can say everything they want, they can call names, shout etc.

    politics (they can call them names and etc.)

    not an english site.

    and lets say the people send articles about a president, and he doesn't like it, he will be mad.
    and if he knows my name and adress, they can send maffia etc. to me. or to my familie.

    and familie is the most important. (it's freedom of speach)

    and that's why i want fully privacy.
    and if the whoisguard is really good, and they will never know. I'm going to pay for it
