Hello:
  What do you want is to hide the personal information is revealed by
a whois query against your domain? Or do you want to create a personal
page who has restricted access?

Regards.

The former is what I want (and for a domain that I select, like
"mynamethatiwant.com")

Hello rbnn-ga

You can register a domain name with a registrar that offers anonymous
domain name registration, who do not publish your details, such as
those companies listed below.
Ano Domain Name Registration
http://privacy.li/anonymous_domain_registration.htm
They advertise on their page:
" You want your own domain? But you are shy to publish all your
private data?
USE our anonymous domain registration, any data possible - AND you can
change them at a later point to anything you want, no credentials
needed with the exception of uid and password (We will turn over
control to you after registration)"

This service from 1001 Discrete Services
http://1001resources.com/discrete/
It tends to be focused on businesses but they say:
"1001DiscreteServices.com offers anonymous domain registration"
and 
"If you are one of the following.... 
someone who for political or social reasons wishes to anonymously
operate a non commercial website, (including individuals wishing to
avoid the stigma associated with (legal) sexual practices between
consenting adults). "

anonix.net
http://www.anonix.net/services.html
say:
"...for a fee of $20 USD per year, we will register your .com, .net,
or .org domain name, using our contact information and nameservers
(which we will set up for free). "

1offshorebanksource.com
http://www.1offshorebanksource.com/pricing_chart_wh.htm
mention Anonymous Domain Name Registration $100.00 annually

However if you have already registered your name, you may be able
to transfer  the domain name to the anonymous services so they can
substitute their details on your behalf. The whois will be updated
removing your details from public view.

Search Strategy:
anonymous domain registration

"anonymous domain registration"
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&newwindow=1&q=%22anonymous+domain+registration%22&btnG=Google+Search

Depending on the level of service they offer, you can either host the
name and website with them or host your website elsewhere pointing the
domain name to it via web forwarding or using your web hosting
provider's nameservers.

I hope that answers your question,
if not just ask for clarification.

kind regards
lot-ga
