Not really what you want but you could register a domain on github or neocities over tor

Private from who?
If you want to keep your real name away from normal people just visiting your site, sure. Any registrar that keeps your info out of a whois query will do. That's more or less standard now for most TLDs.
If you're hiding from people who can make your life hell (corporations, governments) then no. Just run a Tor hidden service and forget about the open web.
Just pick a threat model and go from there.

You could try to use (privately gotten) Bitcoin, and a fake identity, to buy a subdomain from afraid.org

In the OPM hacks, the Chinese used domains registered to marvel super heroes (technically their non-hero names like "tony stark").

If you can access someone else's credentials, you could use them to purchase a domain?

Say if I want to make an anime fan page on neocities over tor, is it a big deal if I'm on a wifi connection at a family member's house with their ISP provided router as long as I use proper bridges?
