Hi
Just a little tip if you ever need to find out who is behind a website, lets say if there is no contact details on the website. Use the whois record to view the registrants contact information, this usually includes a name, email address, their postal address and telephone/fax number.

at the above URL enter the website name as website.com - no need for www. or any trailing slashes

well i got a domain and i can't find my details on there because i opted out to display my name address etc0

It's always possible to use a proxy service to register a domain. This can hide the registrants details, but if it is a business website, this doesn't look good. I wouldn't deal with a business website that hid or didn't give full contact details.
My registration details show my name, and nothing else. I opted out from having my address shown. This is perfectly reasonable seeing as how I'm not selling anything.How many surrealists does it take to change a lightbulb?
