One way of getting a custom WHOIS with a VPS hoster is to register a
domain, put yourself as the domain contact, and then make the reverse
DNS of your VPS IP addresses point to that domain.

This only works if:
* the VPS provider lets you set reverse DNS, and
* the abuse notice software checks the owner of the domain as well as
  the IP address (many do).
