    Private hides your personal details from general whois searches. It doesn't stop your details being released under copyright laws or anything, but it stopsregular traffic seeing your address and phone number for example.

    With a "public" registration, you permit all your contact information to be available to view if anyone does a WhoIs search on that domain. If you select "private" (this often involves a small fee), you contact information is hidden.

            Yes, I agree..
            And i think its better to have the private, so no one can check from whois services
