    During buying a domain name, you can add privacy that will hide your personal information from whois search, you're going to pay extra $ for making your domain name private.

    I bought quite a few domains over the past two years, but I never saw that option.

    Based on the info above (thanks btw) I'll contact my host.

    Which I did in the meanwhile and they answered that, as a general policy, they ALWAYS publish the owners information.

    So if anybody knows a host/domain name provider who doesn't...

    Many domain registrars allow private registration as an additional option to a domain, Godaddy is one of them.
    But keep in mind that most probably your information is already cached by services like domaintools registrant search...
