And so can web hosting, and servers. They don’t require any personal info, maybe an email address. But no name or anything like that. Don’t transfer a domain there, as that’s pointless. The old whois data can be found. And the old domain registrar might keep records, of who had the domain, so whois privacy won’t do any good. Better to let your domains expire. And get a new one. With only new content.
A truly private domain will cost more. But if you live in an authoritarian regime, it might be worth it.
I no longer recommend BuyVM or NameCrane, they both probably require personal info. They take cryptocurrency, but that doesn’t mean it’s private. Both were good back in the day though.
I’ll eventually cancel my hosting, and let my domains expire. The Crane hosting will be cancelled sooner then the reseller hosting.
You can find such hosts, and domain registrars, by searching. Perhaps use a private search engine. Perhaps Mullvad Leta is private enough. They have an onion. But not sure about Tor, if a bad actor controls enough nodes, and you only connect to their nodes, there goes your anonymity. Perhaps you can look at the node list, and research every IP. And prevent Tor from connecting to the bad IPs. Going offline is easier.
Nothing is stopping bad actors from signing up for private hosts using cryptocurrency, and hosting Tor nodes. So don’t ask me how you’ll know if the IP belongs to a bad actor. Obviously avoid all IPs in the US.
