I think something went very wrong with them: "We have closed down
Unfortunately we have closed down and can no longer process new orders, renew existing services or provide support assistance.

Existing customers have until 19 December 2020 to transfer domains and migrate hosting services to new providers. After that time the website will go offline. Please ask your new provider if you need assistance with domain transfers or web hosting migrations."

<p>If you are interested in a highly anonymous decentralised domain registration, then the <a href="http://dot-bit.org/Main_Page" rel="nofollow">Namecoin project</a> is for you. It allows you to register .bit domains using an alt-coin similar to Bitcoin. However, you should be aware that access to those domains was hard without proper plugins the last time I checked.</p>

<p>@ThePiachu - I agree, the Dot-BIT project is very anonymous...if you want to register a .bit domain that is  (only .bit is available from the project so far). The problem with .bit domains is that the system is still very much in it's infancy and so hasn't developed to a point where it is as easily accessed as other "ICANN" domains.</p>

<p>In regards to the question, most registrars will require a certain level of identification when registering a domain (ICANN rules and regs). I know of a lot of registrars which only require a name, email address and physical address. I know, thats a lot of info if you are trying to remain anonymous, but paying by Bitcoin removes the vital registration check that matches the bank details with the other reg. info.</p>

<p>I'm <strong>NOT</strong> saying that you should lie, because there is a level of trust between registrars and their customers, which would be a shame to see disappear. Also fake info can lead to you losing the domain anyway. But the use of Bitcoin in itself will provide a certain level of anonymity.</p>

<p>If you request whois privacy, the regristrar will ensure that your details aren't available to the public, but they (and ICANN) will still have your details in their files.</p>

<p>As for complete anonymity, I'm unaware of any registrar offering that legally. It would have to be a decentralised domain system, one that wasn't regulated by ICANN, like Dot-BIT...</p>

<p>A really good list of Bitcoin-using registars can be found on this site at <a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/3229/where-can-i-register-a-domain-and-pay-with-bitcoins/7168#7168">Where can I register a domain and pay with bitcoins?</a></p>

Can anyone recommend a domain registrar which will both accept BTC and allow anonymous registrations?

I'm aware of this list:

But was looking for recommendations as much as information.

I use [IT Itch](https://ititch.com/). They allow both anonymous domain registration and bitcoin payments. I also use them for my VPS web hosting and I find them pretty fantastic.

But be aware that some domain names can't be purchased anonymously. For instance, some domain registries require things like tax numbers or proof of citizenship, so make sure you choose a domain that supports anonymity (like .com, .net).
