  What “private information” is not revealed with the $8.00 charge for a domain registration that could not be obtained from the website?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  If you register a domain publicly, your name, email, and address automatically become available to anyone. With private registration, you can set up a new domain name without making any of your contact information public. You can find out more about that here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/register-domain/#public-versus-private

  If you’re interested, you can look up the information linked to any domain by searching for the domain name here: http://who.is/whois/

  Please let me know if I can provide any further help.
