Hi!

I have noticed that on my domain when i run whois <domain> it returns a lot of information such as registrar name, abuse contact, creation date… even though i paid extra for “whois privacy.” Then i found that for other domains whois returns a paltry amount of information such as “Malformed request.” or just repeats the domain name and has “status: UNASSIGNABLE”. specifically, one .fail domain and one .it domain. HOWEVER, those minimal whois records for the .it and .fail domains still have valid PTR entries that i can lookup publicly online.

HERE IS THE QUESTION: i want to buy a domain for the sole purpose of having a single A record that points to a corresponding PTR record on the VPS provider. however, i prefer to have the whois record be as minimal as the 2 examples i gave above. how are those whois entries so sparse?

I am doing all this with the goal of hosting a tor exit node. any help is greatly appreciated! have a lovely day!
