I created the domain name "wlandres.net" for this purpose, and that domain is registered with 1and1.
I would have to say, in all honestly, this may have been a bad move. For starters, from personal experience, if you move a domain to or have registered a domain with 1&1, you're going to have a fun fun time attempting to move the domain to another registry or if you move hosting elsewhere and want to update nameservers/DNS records. This was several years ago, so 1&1 *may* have improved - but I'm still not confident enough to trust them with a domain name.
I have just received a letter from "Domain Renewal Group, Domain Name Renewal Service", telling me:
This is because your home address details are available on WHOIS. If 1&1 allow you to use some method of privacy mode for your contact details on WHOIS, do it. Or move to a domain registrar that offers WHOIS privacy protection - if 1&1 allow you do so.
