I just registered another domain name that doesnt support whois privacy and I would like to hide my actual details.

How have you done this? Post office box?

A post box would be the best option IMO, as well as another contact number. Those combined are more expensive than just purchasing the domain with privacy protection included though...

If you're not asked to add whois privacy at the checkout in future, the registrar or domain owner probably don't allow it

I think I was spoiled from google domains always including it by default. Using a new registrar now and I just assumed.

It's not worth the cost of a P.O. box. Gonna drop the domain.
