By that point it's too late? If I want to register a domain, but have no money or time, I'm not going to incorporate just to do it. If a year later it goes viral and starts making enough money to be worth incorporating, my information is already public.

If I then move it to a business address, that will prevent casual snoopers but you can buy access to historical whois records...

Yeah, I see your point.

Thankfully (though not helpful in your case) the UK registry does allow “non trading individuals” to opt out of the public record. You can also change the registrant type from individual to company later.
