IME for most TLDs and hosting providers there's no KYC to speak of. You can just fill in anything, and keep doing so. Unless I'm completely misremembering things, but I signed up to a hosting provider quite recently.

That works, to varying degrees, until the provider gets a letter from law enforcement. And unless you find some provider willing to take crypto, you are doxxing yourself when you pay.
yes it's better to keep a digital paper trail in a public permanent log.
Several domain registrars / hosting providers (including Njalla) accept Monero, which is as untraceable as you can be. Or Monero can be used to indirectly pay a bitcoin invoice very easily (even Namecheap accepts bitcoin)
can you buy monero with cash?
It doesn't matter. You can buy Bitcoin with cash, convert the Bitcoin to Monero and then as soon as you send that Monero to your own wallet, you're done. You have digital cash to spend anonymously.
Ideally, cash with no INSERT IDENTIFICATION so there's no flow of value to audit. ATMs are out!
