Hmm, by private registration, do you mean Whois guard? I’ve made that mistake once, but I don’t know if we’re talking about the same thing.

Yes, looks like WhoisGuard is Namecheap's version of private registration. Some registrars don't charge for that, by the way.

Not having that seem to be a disaster, you wouldn’t believe the amount of calls I received offering to commercially make my website that were clearly personal by name.
