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

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?

    You can give your info to the registrar and then make it anonymous to whois domain.tld searches so it’s not public. Cloudflare is the registrar I use these days because it’s a one-stop shop and used the company address but, at least in the U.S., they need your info for both credit/debit card processing. (Processing fees are cheaper the more info they provide but usually any address with the same zip code is enough.)

    If you have nefarious plans, I don’t have a good recommendation. But if it’s just about privacy, I don’t know if it’s really possible to be completely anonymous anyway. I guess you could use a gift card or something but at least in the U.S., if you own or buy a house, your address is public info already anyway. Shit, city hall will probably give you blueprints of any house.

      I don’t really plan on going total anonymous as I don’t have any bitcoin, it’s just that I don’t want cloudflare, a company to have access to my name and address without having to go through some Legal procedures. The domain is going to associate with my real ip anyway. For me it is good enough that my name is not in whois database or go public

      and thanks a lot for providing these info. I guess I’m just going to put in false info and argue that is typo in the future. The most I’m gonna loss is 80$
