Err... yes, why would you want to? Sounds very dodgy to me.

In which case you shouldn't need to be asking on here really as it should be plainly obvious how to go about it.

I have legitimate reasons for doing so but thats not what I asked. I asked how to do it, not to get responses about my intentions in doing so.

If it was so obvious I wouldn't be asking here now would I

Your answer is this - you can't hide them. Your best bet is to ask your service provider to mask your details by putting something else in aside from your own company details. They will need to check with their registry (RIPE if in Europe) about whether they can do this.

I don't put any details in, I mean the netblock owner. i.e my host

I now have private registration after months of abuse that I don't care to speak about so my details are hidden but the problem is, if my gangster competitors are able to see who I host with, they will know that it is me. This is why I want to be able to hide the netblock owner details from a public search like netcraft.com

So host it somewhere else ?

The simple answer is as everyone else has said - you can't.

And dont rely on "private registration" to provide anonymity, as every registrar is happy to give out the real details when asked the right questions.

I have considerd that but the issue is, this is a million pound a year business in the adult markets. Our servers cost thousands of pounds per month and it is difficult finding someone with this processing power who would host this type of business

Anyhow, thanks for your advice. I will certainly take it on board
