Anyone have the experience registering a domain name with false personal information?
I'm trying to register one but all provider asks for name and address. Anyone have the experience providing false information? Do they really care enough to check your info manually if you don't use your domain name for malicious purposes?
particularly interested in experiences with cloudflare
thanks a lot

https://www.reddit.com/r/Domains/comments/1cxl7y2/when_registering_domain_name_should_i_use_my_real/The issue with using fake details is that you risk getting your account suspended. Also, if your domain gets stolen you've made it impossible to retrieve because you will have to verify your information.
How can a domain get stolen?
Just use WHOIS protection (which should be free, but whatever).

In the UK there is one that is pay as you go. (You pay per letter/parcel received)
I just put in the minimum deposit and used that. As long as no one actually sends anything it is basically free apart from the deposit. (I think it was £5)
Dude I wish USA had this.

I was going to use their service, but I came across this thread: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/is-njalla-still-legit.1521208/, where many people are saying that njal.la is a scam. This is making me have second thoughts.
I mean that's a black hat hacking forum. That alone would make me question what they were doing with their domains x)

thanks a lot!
That means everyone could use whois to look up the name and address associated with a certain domain if no privacy protection is provided by the provider right?
Some registers will have who is privacy that mask your personal details from the public.

Never used to be any issues but recently I've had some real fun trying to get stolen domains back after the details were either wrong or false.... you can do it, but it takes time and a heck of a load of cash

Will a .onion site work for you instead? No registration, no cost, and easy to self-host.

I have 6 domain renewal notices sitting in my Spam folder now.
Another recent one has been notices supposedly from my email provider saying it's time to renew. That one almost got me.
I really wish GPG signing of emails had actually taken off. Would have solved this type of problem completely.
At this point I just don't click any links in emails related to my accounts. I go directly to the website and login to perform the action. Emails are just a notification.

Could you share the name of the company please?

I used my work address. My work is small enough that it’ll filter to me eventually if they snail mail me.

What’s your goal in using fake info? If it’s general privacy, it’s easy enough to register where your info is private to the registrar
