  To get private registration, do I need to pay $8 per blog, or just $8 for all?

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

  Hi Pam!

  The $8 fee for private registration is per blog.

  Cheers.

  Ah, if it’s really so important to do private registration, couldn’t WordPress offer it to all users for $8 per user, not per blog?

  Hi Pam!

  Private registration is for the domain itself, not the actual content of your blog. Registering a domain is sort of like being in the yellow pages and your contact info is made public when anyone does a search. Private registration keeps your contact details hidden from everyone else.

  You don’t need private registration for your WordPress.com blog because we manage that for you and protect your privacy on our servers.

  Custom Domain registration, by nature, creates a public record of your contact information. When you choose to make your registration private, it is applied directly to your unique domain name, not to your WordPress.com blog.

  I hope this sheds some light on the subject. Let me know if you have further questions.
