Bullet proof registrars
 

Is there such a thing anymore? This project may get more heat than I want on my other account. Any ideas?

Generally speaking, all registrars must be compliant with ICANN rules, and dot coms fall under VeriSign and US laws. Registrars are required to know their clients.

While nothing is bulletproof, one can set up to be bullet resistant. It requires many things, including but not limited to the following:

-forming companies in those countries that do not have treaties with the US

-having Directors whose citizenship and residency is not affected by the regulations one wishes to avoid being accountable to

- having banking and merchant accounts in countries which do not have treaties with the US or other countries with similar laws

- hosting in countries where privacy is respected and subpoenas for information are ignored because it is against that countries laws to provide such information,

- and ultimately .. keeping more than an arms distance personallyin managing aforementioned companies, bank accounts, hosting, etc. so as not be associated with any activity which may be in violation of some countries laws.

Good luck!

I have been forced to move domains from registrars that weren't compliant with ICANN.
Depends how many names and what you do with them. We all have our preferences for different reasons.

or... you get a prepaid card, use a fake name and a generic email address like yahoo.com or hotmail.com, etc.

Namecheap: Not asking questions since 1999.

Not strictly true - I had domains pulled by them for usenet spamming - At the time the owner came on here and dealt with it personally! - It was a long time ago but after 1999, maybe 2001...

They resold for Enom at the time and that was the issue - Never any issues since.....
