Since someone already answered the second part, I'll take the first,

>There are hosting providers you don't need to give out your real identity to use

Even if you don't give them your real identity, they have access to the IP address you are connecting from which to a big enough adversary is enough to identify you.

Not necessarily. First not all providers store IP addresses and secondly you can always hide your IP, via multiple hops if you need to. Otherwise there are hosting providers you can sign up to in person, while being masked if needed, and there wouldn't be any IP traces then.
