I have installed WordPress on my Blue Host domain, but Private settings are different

  Blue Host’s version of WordPress does not include the third option for Private setting, which allows restricting visitors.

  I talked with them and they said to talk with you. My guess is that their version of WordPress is down level. I would like to install WordPress on my domain, but I need to restrict who can view the blog. What do you recommend?

  Thanks, Wayne

  Unfortunately, we can really only provide support for the WordPress.com blogs here.

  Your blog on Blue Host is running a self-hosted/installed version of WordPress (using the free WordPress.org software).

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
  http://wordpress.org/support/
  http://codex.wordpress.org/

  For a similar experience to our private blog setting, try this plugin from our very own Alex Mills:
