Tor?  It's not immune from traffic analysis, but it's nearly the best
you can do to hide the server's location/isp from clients.

Hosting in a country that would laugh at lawsuits, like Sealand?

You can try, but good physical anonymity for commerce is difficult
unless you construct a fake identity good enough that you can use it to
open bank accounts... without leaving any compromising fingerprints that
your bank can turn over to the authorities.

Tor+rsync?

i2p is another possibility.

Assuming you want your own SLD name, yes.  But if you can be satisfied 
with a third-level, there are a lot of domains at freedns.afraid.org 
that will let you tag on a subdomain with just a registration (and you 
can probably supply a @dodgeit.com address).  Then just add a web 
forward pointing to the Tor gateway.
