Most registrars offer Privacy Protection for a few extra dollars.

Agreed. This is exactly what private protection is for.

If you register or transfer to name.com the code for free whois privacy is 'FREEWHOIS'.

I suppose that you'd better contact the company you registered the domain at and ask them for privacy protection.

I'm presuming that what he meant was, that if the feds try to bust the website and subpoena the registrar, that the paper trail will not lead to both the guy and the woman. Although you still have to pay by credit card for the domain which is traceable.

Yea I didn't want my name connected with the domain in anyway

You might want to register a ccTLD like with a more liberal view regarding adult content. Dot BE for example reveals nothing in the whois when the domain is registered as a private person. The only thing that DNS BE mentions in the WHOIS is the name of the Registrar but not the registrant.

Or look at a privacy protect service that does not reveal the registrant at the first sign of legal trouble.

Nominet does offer an opt out. However i doubt your client applies to their guidelines.

However "consumers" have the right to opt out from having their address published on the WHOIS. Opt-out can only be set for domains where the registrant type is set as "UK Individual". Furthermore to qualify for opting out of having address details published, the domain name must not be used for any commercial activity and be unconnected with any business, trade or profession. This includes the display of any pay per click advertising on the site.

Have her buy the domain and put whois privacy on it.
