I dont really understand this line "Some registrars offer to hide your contact info, but then they will own of your domain."

That's what I've read somewhere: since contact info associated with your domain points to your registrar (or web host), you have given up control. Is that correct, or you'll keep full control and ownership of your domain? Thanks.

Have a look at this page; it is a decent summary of one identity masking service (given merely as an example, although I've been happy with namecheap). As they state, you retain ownership of the domain. They merely serve as a proxy public contact.
