It's hosted by Github pages which only needs an email address and is free so no billing info. Domain requires payment and stuff but you can easily use whois privacy protection. Looks like they use "Whois Guard Protection".

In the end they are relying on both whois guard and the domain registrar to keep their anonymity.

Oh thanks! So it means it's not completely anonymous, someone at the registrar can lookup the info if I got this rigth?
They could have registered the domain in the name of a legal entity registered in a state like Wyoming where company directors can remain anon. Basically shielded behind lawyers and shell corporations.
Thanks.
You could pay in bitcoin and give fake details too, however if you get your domain stolen proving your ownership becomes difficult.
