The whois shows my company name. I mean since I run a company, I don't really want that private. Also, those IPs are accessible through a simple DNS lookup of the sender domain, so I'm not really losing any security.

Oh, I thought you were recommending this for consumer usage. Yeah, if you have a company then there's probably nothing to keep private.

The hosting provider will probably put whatever you want in the whois.

The whois wasn't my concern though (since I already knew it was solvable); my concern was the IP address leakage, which gives away your location among other things...
