Since you have to pay to keep your whois protected i was wondering if anyone of you ever entered some fake name /data while registering the domain and how it turned out for you?

That's what I've done, because my mentor suggested it. It has been no problem for him.

I don't think that using Fake name is going to create any problem. Just make sure you add a working email ID, in case someone steals your domain, you can prove your ownership using that email ID.

Like everyone says, you can use fake name with working email ID.

Not all registrars makes you pay for whois privacy, namesilo and internet.bs to name a few.
Goduddy wants $7.99 for privacy is reason why I'm transferring all mine over to the two aforementioned.

Yeah thats what i thought just never read anything about it to obvious to ask for it eh ? :b well thanks for clearing it up to everyone who replied : )!
and damn a mentor what a luxury i wished i had one aswell haha

I hope that's not rude to ask in the same thread (forgot about to ask should have in the first place i know)
but what about the payment just use my real paypal or should i get another paypal account or another form of payment which is not so traceable what did you guys use ?
