1) I would like to buy a foreign domain name, but an address in the host country is required. How do you get around this?<p>I know some missionaries in this country, but I don't want to get caught up in some legal misunderstanding and risk losing the domain.<p>2) Also, how much risk is involved in using a foreign domain?
I've used <a href="http://www.europeregistry.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.europeregistry.com/</a> to register foreign domain names in the past. Much like anonymous/private registration in the US, the registrar uses one of their addresses to create the record.
Chances are they won't really check the address. Why not just put a fake one?<p>You could also look for a mail forwarding service in the jurisdiction.<p>Giving you a proper answer requires that we know more details– are you expecting that somebody will want to take this site down? Or is it a potentially valuable domain?<p>Another solution is registering under a local's name and address, and have a contractual arrangement with them limiting their rights.<p>You could also set up a corporation, and run the domain with the corporation. It all depends how safe you want to be.
Go to something like <a href="http://www.101domain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.101domain.com</a> (or any of the other foreign url providers) and see if they can get it for you.<p>If they can't, then its not worth trying to get around the system. Just pick a different name and stop trying to be too creative with your domain name.
<a href="http://www.eurodns.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.eurodns.com</a> has a solid selection of international domains and provides local addresses/affiliates to enable registration in certain countries. It's a bit expensive for some domains. But they've got a good selection and have been reliable.
