Web Hosting- Is your information public?

[TheHeyzeus]

I have a Host Gator account and want to start a new website, however I don't want to have my information available publicly. I would do private registration of my domain, but curious more on the hosting side.

Is it easy to get website contact name and billing address? Do I have to go with an "anonymous" web hosting path paying with bitcoins and what not.

Pretty noobish about web sec as you can already tell.
