Anonymity isn't a binary. It's a spectrum. Depending on who your threats are, different measures would need to be taken.
From whom are you hiding? Nosy friends and neighbors? Competing businesses? Debtors? Tax authority? Law enforcement? Military or spy agencies? Religious institutions?
Bitcoin isn't particularly private but it might be private enough in some cases. If you want to go one step further, take the bitcoin to an exchange that doesn't KYC, and convert it to XMR or other privacy coin. It might be wise to take steps to obfuscate the funds by converting across multiple cryptos: bitcoin to ethereum to litecoin to XMR, for example, as this makes tracing harder. Now you have a significantly more anonymous payment method.
Use virtual machines or remote desktops so that your own devices don't get fingerprinted. Use Tor or VPN service like Mullvad to mask your IP address (even if you're using a remote desktop). Set up free email accounts with Tutanota, Proton, and other privacy focused email providers.
You can now pay for hosting and domain with your hard-to-trace crypto and register with your hard-to-trace email address, with web hosts that tolerate anonymous clients. For example Njalla or Incognet.io.
